Powerball

There were no Powerball jackpot winners Wednesday but 343,837 players across the nation won a total of more than $2.6 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 $47 million.

The cash option for the Saturday, June 19 drawing will be an estimated $24.3 million.

The numbers drawn were: 16, 18, 26, 39, 48 and the Powerball was 22. The Power Play multiplier was 5.

One player correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $100,000. The winning ticket was sold in South Carolina. The winning ticket holder did not purchase the Power Play option. If the owner had spent the extra dollar, he or she would have multiplied their prize by 5 for a total win of $500,000.

Twenty-five players matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $5,000. Two of those players purchased the Power Play option, giving them a total win of $25,000.

More than 44,000 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 5 Wednesday. They were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you can multiply your winnings, 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 12.6 million tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night.

The lotteries sold more than $2 billion in Powerball tickets in 2003. That translates into more than $600 million for worthwhile state projects.
