The jackpot in America’s favorite lottery game is on the move. Even though the grand prize was not awarded Saturday evening, 1 lucky ticket in Oklahoma (1) matched all 5 white numbers with the Power Play and won $1 MILLION cash. This was a result of the new Power Play feature that turns any match 5 white ball win into a 5X multiplier with the Power Play option and pushes the prize up to $1 million cash! Three other lucky tickets in Indiana (1), Pennsylvania (1), and Louisiana (1), matched all 5 white ball numbers without the Power Play for a sensational $200,000 cash win. In addition, 585,397 tickets across the nation won a total of $6,060,618 in prizes.
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $72 million!
The cash option for the Wednesday, June 17th drawing will be an estimated $35 million.
The numbers drawn Saturday night were 13-16-20-35-41 and the Powerball was 6. The Power Play multiplier was 4.
