A total of 952,566 players across the nation won more than $13.6 million in prizes in America’s Game.


Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Wednesday’s drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $204 million.


The cash option for the Saturday, August 5th drawing will be an estimated $92.7 million.


The numbers drawn Wednesday evening were 10, 13, 16, 19, 24 and the Powerball was 15. The Power Play multiplier was 4.

Sixty-nine tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000 each. Thirteen additional winners of that prize category also purchased the Power Play option, giving them a total win of $40,000 each.


More than 150,000 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 4 Wednesday. They were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you multiply your Powerball winnings 2-5 times, except for the jackpot. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select that night’s multiplier.


Players should carefully check their tickets after every draw. Even if there are no jackpot winners there are always tens of thousands of winners at other prize levels.


Players purchased more than $40.2 million worth of tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night. The lotteries sold $2.8 billion in Powerball tickets in FY06. That translates into more than $800 million for worthwhile state projects.
