Powerball Jackpot Reaches Record Amount

The estimated Powerball jackpot for Saturday evening has not only reached a new Powerball record, but also a new world record lottery amount of $365 million! Even though the grand prize was not awarded Wednesday, 2,450,454 players across the nation won more than $22.2 million in prizes in America's Game.

The cash option for the Saturday, February 18th drawing will be an estimated $177.3 million.

The numbers drawn Wednesday evening were 3, 13, 35, 39, 40 and the Powerball was 37. The Power Play multiplier was 5.

Fourteen players correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $200,000. Their winning tickets were purchased in Minnesota (1), Missouri (2), Nebraska (2), Pennsylvania (4), South Carolina (1), South Dakota (1), and Wisconsin (3). Two additional players not only matched the 5 white, but also wisely purchased the Power Play option multiplying the $200,000 by 5 for a total win of $1,000,000 each. Those tickets were both purchased in Indiana.

One hundred thirty-two players matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Twelve additional winners of that prize category also purchased the Power Play option, giving them a total win of $50,000.

More than 238,000 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 5 Wednesday. They were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you multiply your Powerball winnings 2-5 times, except for the jackpot. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select 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 more than $101.7 million worth of tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night. The lotteries sold approximately 2 billion in Powerball tickets in FY05. That translates into more than $600 million for worthwhile state projects.

Powerball is now played in 28 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

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