The Powerball jackpot continues to move upward exciting players all across
the country. Even though the grand prize was not hit Saturday evening,
562,903 players across the nation won a total of more than $5.3 million in
prizes in America's favorite Game.
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers the jackpot will grow to
an
estimated $100 million for Wednesday night's drawing.
The cash option for the Wednesday, February 20th drawing will be an
estimated $48.1 million.
The numbers drawn Saturday were <strong>3, 4, 8, 20, 49 and the Powerball
was 18</strong>. The Power Play multiplier was 3.
Six lucky tickets in Arizona (2), Colorado (1), Idaho (2), and
Pennsylvania
(1) correctly matched all 5 white numbers and won $200,000 cash each.
Twenty-four tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won
$10,000.
Ten additional winners of that prize category also had the Power Play
option
that multiplied the win 3 times for a total of $30,000!
A total of 107,204 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 3

for
one dollar. With Power Play you multiply any winnings from 2-5 times,
except
