The jackpot in America’s favorite lottery game continues to climb higher and higher. Even though the grand prize was not awarded Saturday evening, one lucky ticket in Colorado (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 with the Power Play into a 5X multiplier and pushes the prize up to $1 million!! Four other lucky tickets in Delaware (1), Florida (1), Minnesota (1), and Pennsylvania (1) matched all 5 white ball numbers without the multiplier for a sensational $200,000 cash win on each. In addition, 804,371 tickets across the nation won a total of $7,070,927 in prizes.
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $129 million!
The cash option for the Wednesday, September 23rd drawing will be an estimated $66.3 million.
The numbers drawn Saturday night were 5, 24, 25, 30, 49 and the Powerball was 23. The Power Play multiplier was 3.
