The jackpot for the Saturday, June 27th drawing will be $25 million with the cash option at $12 million. The numbers drawn Wednesday evening were 16, 18, 24, 51, 53, and the Powerball was 16. The Power Play multiplier was 5. Nineteen tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. A single ticket of that prize level also had the Power Play and had the prize multiplied by 5 for a $50,000 cash win! A total of 423,697 tickets across the nation won more than $3.9 million in prizes playing America’s favorite game. A total of 88,358 winning Powerball tickets multiplied their prize by 5 Wednesday. Players were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for $1. With Power Play you multiply your Powerball winnings from 2-5 times, except for the jackpot. All match 5 prizes in Powerball with the Power Play are multiplied 5 times for a $1 million cash win. At the beginning of each drawing an animated spinner presents that night’s multiplier. Players should carefully check their tickets after every draw. Even if there are no jackpot winners there are always tens of thousands of winners at other prize levels. Players purchased $18,860,470 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night. The lotteries sold more than $2.56 billion in Powerball tickets in FY08. That translates into more than $743 million for worthwhile state projects. Powerball is now played in 30 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
