Five Tennesseans have big Powerball wins in latest drawing

Tuesday, February 21, 2006 posted 12:32 PM EST

The big Powerball prize of $365 million belongs to someone who bought a ticket at a market in Lincoln, Nebraska

But five people who bought tickets in Tennessee did just fine.

Tickets sold in Jackson, Christiana, Oliver Springs and Winchester matched the five top numbers, missing only the powerball number. That gives them not only a $200,000, but $467,000 each from a bonus fund that's been accumulating since the jackpot broke the previous record of $340 million last week.

A ticket buyer in Manchester added the Power Play option to a ticket, quadrupling the base prize and making the payout on that ticket more than $1.25 million

Tennessee Lottery spokeswoman Kim Gerlock says nearly $8.5 million in tickets were sold between Thursday and Saturday's drawing -- the second highest total in Tennessee Lottery history.

Only one Tennessee player has ever won the top Powerball prize. Bobbi Hubbard of South Pittsburg claimed nearly $14 million last March.
