(Powerball) One lucky ticket in Arkansas (1) matched all 6 numbers in the Saturday, January 2nd drawing and won the $25 million jackpot. The holder(s) of the winning ticket will now have to decide to either take the 29-year, 30-installment annuity, or the one time cash “lump sum” amount of $12,153,621.

Other big winners included one ticket in Missouri that matched all 5 white ball numbers and had the Power Play option for a $1 million prize. Five tickets sold in Arizona (1), Indiana (1), North Carolina (1), New Mexico (1), and Wisconsin (1) matched all 5 white ball numbers for a $200,000 cash win each. There were a total of 482,869 additional winning tickets in America’s Game Saturday evening. Those winners won prizes totaling $6,104,859.

The numbers drawn were 3, 7, 23, 27, 42 and the Powerball was 37. The Power Play multiplier was 3.

Additional major winners Saturday evening included 36 tickets that matched 4 white ball numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Sixteen additional players not only matched 4+1, but also purchased the Power Play multiplying their prize by 3 for a total win of $30,000!

A total of 104,870 winning Powerball plays were multiplied by 3 Saturday evening. Winners were able to do so by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you can multiply your winnings, except for the jackpot, from 2 to 5 times. At the beginning of each drawing an animated wheel is displayed to reveal that night’s multiplier.

Players purchased $20,773,316 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Thursday and Saturday night.

The jackpot for Wednesday, January 6th will be $20 million.

The lotteries sold more than $2.56 billion in Powerball tickets in FY09. That translates into more than $743 million for worthwhile state projects.

Powerball is now played in 31 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
