New Scratch-Off Games in Retailers by Tuesday, April 7
JACKSON, MISS. — A Mississippi Lottery player has added to an unprecedented streak of Powerball wins, becoming the third $50,000 winner in as many drawings with a ticket purchased at Keith’s Super Store #80 in Lucedale. With the $1 Power Play add-on, the prize would have multiplied to $150,000. This latest win follows two other $50,000 prizes claimed in back-to-back drawings, marking a milestone of three consecutive $50,000 wins across three drawings.
Power Play is an optional $1 add-on feature for Powerball tickets that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x.
On Monday, a ticket purchased at Circle K #270515 in Southaven also matched four white balls and the Powerball in the regular Powerball drawing to win $50,000. That prize, too, could have multiplied to $100,000 with the addition of Power Play.
The streak began with a Double Play win Saturday, March 28, when a ticket purchased at Sprint Mart #9 in Fulton matched four white balls plus the Powerball in the Double Play drawing. The $1 Double Play add-on gave the player a second chance to win and paid off with a $50,000 prize.
Three drawings, three winners, and different paths to the same $50,000 prize highlight the variety of ways Mississippi players can win with Powerball.
With no jackpot winner during this stretch, the Powerball jackpot for Saturday, April 4 climbs to an estimated $217 million jackpot, with an estimated cash value of $97.4 million. Powerball tickets cost $2 per play, with Power Play and Double Play options available for an additional $1 each.
