Powerball Jackpot Reaches $205 Million

The Powerball jackpot for the Saturday, Oct. 8 drawing has grown to an estimated annuity value of $205 million or $101.7 million cash. A single winning ticket sold in Pennsylvania for this drawing would be the second-largest prize ever won from the Pennsylvania Lottery.

The 16-draw run leading to Saturday night's drawing began on Aug. 13. Saturday's jackpot is the ninth largest Powerball jackpot in the game's 13- year history and the largest jackpot offered since the May 28 drawing.

No ticket won the top prize in the Wednesday, Oct. 5, drawing by matching all five white balls, 2-15-25-30-45, plus the red Powerball, 17; however, the drawing awarded Pennsylvania's first $1 million PowerPlay prize. One PowerPlay ticket sold in Pennsylvania matched all five white balls for the second-tier prize. This player's $200,000 prize was multiplied by the drawing's PowerPlay number, 5, for a total prize of $1 million cash. The enhanced version of Powerball that began on Aug. 28 doubled the second-tier prize from $100,000 to $200,000 giving players a chance to win $1 million cash.

Due to the large jackpot and anticipated increase in ticket sales for Saturday night's drawing, the Pennsylvania Lottery advises players to purchase their Powerball tickets early to avoid the last-minute rush. The Lottery also reminds players to play responsibly.

The Pennsylvania Lottery has sold nine jackpot-winning Powerball tickets since joining the multi-jurisdictional game in June 2002. Powerball tickets are sold in 29 participating jurisdictions - 27 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

How to play Powerball: To play Powerball, players pay $1 and select five white balls from the first set of 55 numbers plus a single red ball, the Powerball, from a second set of 42 numbers. Players may select their own numbers using a Powerball play slip, or they may opt for computer-selected quick picks. Players must match all five numbers drawn plus the Powerball number to win the jackpot. There also are eight additional ways for players to win a cash prize.

Powerball features an option called PowerPlay. For an extra $1 per Powerball play (game), players can multiply their Powerball prizes by 2, 3, 4 or 5 times the original prize amount for all prizes EXCEPT the jackpot. Prizes can multiply up to $1 million.

 
Remember, you can beat the odds, but you can't beat the percentages.
