$58.6 MILLION POWERBALL JACKPOT WON!
Powerball - One lucky ticket in Pennsylvania matched all 6 numbers Wednesday evening and walked away with the $58.6 million jackpot. The holder of the winning ticket will now have to decide to either take the 29-year, 30-installment annuity, or take the one time cash “lump sum” amount of $30,207,012.

There were a total of 406,193 additional winning tickets in America’s Game Wednesday evening. Those tickets won prizes totaling $2,854,762.

The numbers drawn Wednesday were 20, 30, 37, 50, 52 and the Powerball was 33. The Power Play multiplier was 2.

Two tickets correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $200,000. These tickets were sold in Colorado (1), and Iowa (1).

Twenty-one tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Six additional players not only matched 4+1, but also purchased the Power Play option for a total win of $20,000!

A total of 76,880 winning Powerball plays were multiplied by 2 Wednesday 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 a wheel is spun to select that night’s multiplier.

Players purchased $18,512,804 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night.

The jackpot for Saturday, November 1st will be $15 million.

The lotteries sold more than $2.56 billion in Powerball tickets in FY08. That translates into more than $743 million for worthwhile state projects.

Powerball is now played in 29 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
