Plymouth Resident Wins $50,000 Powerball® with Power Play® Prize
SEPTEMBER 28, 2009 — By adding the Power Play option to her Powerball ticket for an extra $1, a Plymouth resident multiplied her $10,000 Powerball prize by five to win $50,000 on Sept. 23
Jeanne Foster claimed the $50,000 prize at the Lottery’s headquarters in Roseville on Sept. 25.
The winning Powerball numbers drawn on Sept. 23 were 7-8-20-25-29 and the Powerball number was 11. Foster’s single line ticket, with the numbers she picked, matched four of the first five numbers drawn plus the Powerball to win $10,000. Since Foster added the Power Play option to her ticket, her prize was multiplied by five — that drawing’s Power Play number.
Holiday, located at 10900 Highway 55 in Plymouth, sold the winning ticket.
Powerball is the multi-state lotto game that offers players nine ways to win. Players select five numbers from 1 to 59 and a Powerball, from 1 to 39. The jackpot is won by matching all five numbers plus the Powerball. Approximate odds of winning a cash prize are 1 in 35.1 and approximately 1 in 195.2 million to win the jackpot.
For an extra $1 per Powerball play, players can purchase the Power Play® option to multiply their prizes (except the jackpot) by two, three, four or five times. A Power Play wheel randomly draws the Power Play number before the winning Powerball numbers are drawn. Players can win up to $1 million with Power Play.
