Powerball Jackpot Leaps to $85 Million; $600,000 Power Play Prize Won

Even though the grand prize was not awarded Saturday evening, 1 lucky ticket in New Mexico matched all 5 white numbers with the Power Play and won an incredible $600,000 cash! Two other winners matched all 5 white numbers for $200,000. These lucky tickets were purchased in DC (1) and Delaware (1). In addition, 528,494 tickets across the nation won a total of $4,883,587 in prizes.

Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $85 million!

The cash option for the Wednesday, July 2nd drawing will be an estimated $41.4 million.

The numbers drawn Saturday night were 14, 26, 32, 34, 44 and the Powerball was 6. The Power Play multiplier was 3.

Other prizes won Saturday evening included twenty-nine tickets that matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Ten additional tickets that won at this prize level also wisely purchased the Power Play and had the $10,000 winnings multiplied by 3 to $30,000!

A total of 102,895 winning Powerball tickets multiplied their prizes by 3 Saturday. Players were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you multiply your Powerball winnings from 2 to 5 times, except for the jackpot. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select that night’s multiplier.

Players purchased $22,180,399 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Thursday and Saturday night.
