Three $200,000 and One $10,000 PowerBall® Winners

Last night was a big night for Rhode Island Lottery players, right in time for the holidays. There were three $200,000 winners and one $10,000 winner for last night’s $50 million PowerBall® drawing. 
 
The three $200,000 winning tickets matched all five numbers, but not the PowerBall® number.  Below is a list of the Retailers that sold the three $200,000 winning tickets:

Gold Mart, 1531 Newport Ave. Pawtucket

High Spirits Liquor, 571 North Main St. Providence

Royal Liquor, 22 Pontiac Ave. Providence

The $10,000 winning ticket matched four numbers and the PowerBall® number.  This ticket was purchased from Campagna’s Pharmacy at 173 State St., Bristol. 

None of the players opted to purchase the PowerPlay® feature for an additional dollar on the wager.  If they had, their $200,000 and $10,000 prizes would have been multiplied by four, yesterday’s PowerPlay® number, to equal $800,000 and $40,000.

Saturday’s estimated jackpot is $57 million.
