Picayune Powerball Ticket Wins $100,000 with Power Play

A Picayune player is just one ticket check away from discovering they’re $100,000 richer. A Powerball ticket purchased at Clark Oil Company 37, matched four of the five white-ball numbers in Wednesday night’s drawing, and thanks to the $1 Power Play add-on, the prize doubled from $50,000 to $100,000.

The winning ticket has yet to be claimed, leaving open the possibility that its owner has no idea a six-figure payday is waiting. The win continues a wave of Powerball success across Mississippi since the start of the fiscal year, including a $1 million winner in Tupelo, a $100,000 prize in Purvis, and a string of $50,000 prizes in McComb, Gulfport, Flowood, Jackson and Pascagoula. 

Now, with the jackpot rolling to an estimated $232 million for Saturday’s drawing, players across the state have one more reason to imagine what could happen when the numbers finally line up.

FLOWOOD, MISS. – A routine lottery purchase turned into a life-changing win for a Gulfport man who claimed a $1 million top prize on the Mississippi Lottery’s $30 Millionaire Maker scratch-off game Tuesday, Sept. 8.

The winner purchased his ticket Monday, Sept. 7, at Shell in Long Beach as part of his regular lottery purchase where he gets his favorite draw games and a scratch off. He had already experienced smaller wins on Millionaire Maker, which kept him coming back to the game. The winner said he rotates the stores where he purchases his lottery tickets, making his winning stop at Shell in Long Beach one that he won’t soon forget.

With his $1 million prize, he already has a plan for what comes next: a new vehicle and a lot of saving.

For a game that has been on the market for less than a year, Millionaire Maker has already created three millionaires. The Gulfport winner is the third player to claim a $1 million top prize since the game debuted in January 2026. Seven $1 million top prizes remain.

Players can check their tickets using the Mississippi Lottery’s official mobile app or at a Mississippi Lottery retailer.

FLOWOOD, MISS. — A Mississippi Powerball player is $50,000 richer after turning a $1 Double Play add-on into a big payday Wednesday night just one week after another Mississippi player did the same.

The winning ticket, purchased at Walmart Superstore in Pascagoula, matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball in the Double Play drawing to win $50,000.

Double Play gives Powerball players a second chance to win using the same numbers in a second drawing immediately following the regular Powerball draw. For just $1, players get another shot at a winning moment, and recent Mississippi winners are proving that opportunity can pay off in a big way.

Last week, a ticket purchased at Fast Lane State Street in Jackson matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball in the Double Play drawing, also winning $50,000.

Back-to-back Double Play wins are creating excitement across the state, reminding players that sometimes a simple $1 add-on can deliver a big reward and a memorable win.  

While there was no jackpot winner Wednesday night, dreams of a life-changing prize continue to build as the Powerball jackpot climbs. The estimated jackpot for Saturday, Sept. 5, is $173 million, with an estimated cash value of $75 million.

Jackpot Update

Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot is an estimated $177 million with an estimated cash value of $76.3 million. Saturday’s Lotto America jackpot is an estimated $3.61 million with an estimated cash value of $1.56 million. Millionaire for Life draws every night, giving players the chance to win $1 million every year for life.

FLOWOOD, MISS. — A Powerball player in Jackson turned a $1 add-on into a $50,000 win in Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing. The winning ticket, purchased at Fast Lane State Street in Jackson, matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball in the Double Play drawing, proving that sometimes an extra dollar can make all the difference. 

Double Play gives Powerball players another opportunity to win with the same numbers on their original ticket. For an additional $1 per play, those numbers are entered into a separate drawing with a separate prize structure held immediately after the regular Powerball drawing.

The win is the latest in a string of big Powerball prizes won across Mississippi this summer. Since July 1, Mississippi Lottery players have scored significant wins with $50,000 prizes — in McComb, Gulfport, Flowood and now Jackson — as well as a $100,000 prize in Purvis and a $1 million prize in Tupelo.

The $50,000 Gulfport prize and the new $50,000 Jackson prize have not been claimed, meaning two Mississippi players may still have a $50,000 surprise waiting to be discovered. 

With no jackpot winner in Wednesday night’s drawing, the estimated jackpot for Saturday, Aug. 29, climbs to an estimated $119 million, with an estimated cash value of $51.1 million.

Powerball tickets are $2 per play, and players can add Double Play and Power Play for an additional $1 per play. Players can learn more at mslottery.com or on the Mississippi Lottery Official app.
