Eden Prairie Resident Wins $200,000 Powerball^® Prize

JUNE 1, 2009 — Nicholas Wenger of Eden Prairie won $200,000 on a Powerball ticket he purchased for the drawing on May 27, 2009.

The winning ticket was purchased at SuperAmerica, 540 Dellwood Drive N. in Baxter.

The winning numbers on May 27, 2009 were 5-6-12-16-21 (the Powerball was 7). Wenger claimed the prize at Lottery headquarters in Roseville on May 29.

A Powerball prize worth $200,000 from the drawing on April 29, 2009 (sold in Stearns County) has not yet been claimed. Players have one year from the date of the drawing to claim all prizes.

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.
