Two $200,000 & $10,000 Rhode Island PowerBall® Winners
PowerBall® Climbs to $162 Million

Two $200,000 and a $10,000 winning ticket were all sold in Rhode Island for Saturday night’s $143.2 million PowerBall® drawing.  The $200,000 tickets matched the first 5 numbers but not the PowerBall number, while the $10,000 ticket matched 4 numbers and the PowerBall number. 

The winners did not purchase the Power Play® feature for an additional dollar on the wager.  If these players had opted for Power Play®, their $10,000 and $200,000 prizes would have been multiplied by five, Saturday’s Power Play® number, increasing the prizes to $50,000 and $1,000,000. 

One of the $200,000 winning tickets was purchased from the Stop & Shop at 3 Stilson Rd., Richmond.  The other was sold by Parkway Convenience & Deli at 1154 Narragansett Pkwy., Warwick.  The $10,000 ticket was bought from Twin River at 100 Twin River Rd., Lincoln. 

Wednesday’s estimated PowerBall® jackpot is $162 million.
