The Florida Lottery announced that the Wednesday, July 22, POWERBALL® drawing resulted in a rollover, producing an $88 million
jackpot for the next drawing.
The winning POWERBALL numbers were: 04 - 06 - 16 - 22 - 32 and the Powerball was 11. The Power Play multiplier was 02.
More than 84,000 Florida POWERBALL players won prizes in the game. Prize payouts are as follows:
· 1 player matched five numbers, to win $200,000.00.
· 7 players matched four numbers plus the Powerball, each winning $10,000.00.
· 159 players matched four numbers, each winning $100.00.
· 214 players matched three numbers plus the Powerball, each winning $100.00.
· 7,034 players matched three numbers, each winning $7.00.
· 3,353 players matched two numbers plus the Powerball, each winning $7.00.
· 18,486 players matched one number plus the Powerball, each winning $4.00.
· 34,903 players matched only the Powerball, each winning $3.00.
· 20,218 players added Power Play and matched one of the non-jackpot winning combinations listed above, multiplying their
winnings by 2.
Power Play is an add-on feature to POWERBALL that allows players to multiply their non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four
or five times for $1 more per play. Power Play players who match five numbers win $1 million – the original match 5 prize
multiplied by five. All other non-jackpot prizes are multiplied by the Power Play multiplier, from two through five, selected
at random at the start of each drawing.
The next POWERBALL drawing will be held Saturday, July 25, at 10:59 p.m. ET with a $88 million jackpot. POWERBALL drawings
may be viewed on the Lottery’s TV carrier stations statewide and on the Florida Lottery Web site at flalottery.com. Winning
numbers are available on the Lottery Web site, at retailers statewide and by phone at (850) 921-PLAY.
POWERBALL is a multi-state, mega-jackpot lotto game that is played in 30 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. The game is administered by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). The game’s starting jackpot is $20 million,
and increases with each rollover if no one matches all five numbers plus the Powerball.
