(Powerball) One lucky ticket in Connecticut (1) matched all 6 numbers Saturday and will walk away with the $25 million jackpot. The holder(s) of the winning ticket will now have to decide to either take the 29-year, 30-installment annuity, or the one time cash “lump sum” amount of $12,506,253.
Other big winners included 3 tickets sold in Arizona (1), Florida (1), and Missouri (1) that matched all 5 white ball numbers for a $200,000 cash win each. There were a total of 520,749 additional winning tickets in America’s Game Saturday evening. Those winners won prizes totaling $4,624,590.
The numbers drawn were 18, 22, 26, 39, 48 and the Powerball was 17. The Power Play multiplier was 4.
Additional major winners Saturday evening included 11 tickets that matched 4 white ball numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Six additional players not only matched 4+1, but also purchased the Power Play option, multiplying their prize by 4 for a total win of $40,000!
A total of 115,365 winning Powerball plays were multiplied by 4 Saturday evening. Winners were able to do so by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you can multiply your winnings, except for the jackpot, from 2 to 5 times. At the beginning of each drawing an animated wheel is displayed to reveal that night’s multiplier.
