Powerball Jackpot goes to $25 Million
Thursday, June 25, 2009 posted 11:23 AM EDT
(Powerball) The Powerball jackpot is on the move again. Even though the jackpot was not hit, two lucky tickets sold in Oklahoma
(1), and Pennsylvania (1) won $200,000 each by matching all 5 white ball numbers.
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 $2.56 billion in Powerball tickets in fiscal year 2008. That translates into over $743 million for worthwhile
state projects.
Powerball is now played in 30 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
