(Powerball) The jackpot in America’s favorite lottery game continues to climb exciting players all across the nation. Even though the grand prize was not awarded Saturday evening, one lucky ticket sold in Tennessee 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 with the Power Play into a 5X multiplier and pushes the prize up to $1 million cash! Four other lucky tickets in Florida (1), Kentucky (2), and Maine (1) matched all 5 white ball numbers without the multiplier for a sensational $200,000 cash win on each. In addition, 1,455,015 tickets across the nation won a total of $13,000,805 in prizes.
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $245 million!
The cash option for the Wednesday, August 19th drawing will be an estimated $122.6 million.
The numbers drawn Saturday night were 14, 15, 26, 32, 36 and the Powerball was 12. The Power Play multiplier was 5.
