Powerball Jackpot Reaches $64 Million
Saturday, November 25, 2006 posted 03:30 AM EST
was a happy Thanksgiving Eve for Powerball players in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin who won $200,000, but none of the tickets
sold for the Powerball game Wednesday night matched all six numbers drawn for the $54.6 million jackpot.
That means the jackpot grows to $64 million for the Thanksgiving weekend.
In North Carolina, the winning numbers selected Wednesday in the North Carolina Education Lottery:
Pick 3 was 2-5-6 (two, five, six) and Cash 5 was 4-6-19-33-34 (four, six, nineteen, thirty-three, thirty-four).
The numbers drawn Wednesday night in the Powerball were: 22-32-36-49-55; Powerball 08 (twenty-two, thirty-two, thirty-six,
forty-nine, fifty-five, Powerball eight).
The Power Play was 05
Players matching all five numbers and the Powerball would have won or shared the $54.6 million jackpot. The prize now goes
to an estimated $64 million for Saturday.
Tickets that match the first five numbers, but miss the Powerball, win $200,000 each, and there were two of those. They were
sold in: Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
There was a Power Play Match 5 winner in South Carolina.
