Lucky Rhode Island Lottery Retailer: Plainfield Pike Mobil
2 $10,000 Prizes Sold in 15 Days

The Plainfield Pike Mobil in Johnston seems to be the store to go to for Mega Millions® and PowerBall® tickets.  For last night’s drawing they sold a $10,000 winning Mega Millions® ticket, which has yet to be claimed.  Furthermore, Peter Brewer from Scituate (photo attached) cashed in his $10,000 winning PowerBall® ticket from the October 13 draw that he purchased from the Plainfield Pike Mobil as well. 

The Mega Millions® ticket matched four numbers and the Mega Ball number.  The standard payout for this type of win is $10,000.  The winner did not purchase the Megaplier® feature for an additional dollar on the wager.  If the player had opted for the Megaplier®, the $10,000 prize would have been multiplied by 4, last night’s Megaplier® number, to equal $40,000.

The winning PowerBall® ticket matched four numbers and the PowerBall® number.  The standard payout for this type of win is $10,000.  Brewer did not purchase the PowerPlay® feature for an additional dollar on the wager.  If he had, his $10,000 prize would have been multiplied by 4, the PowerPlay® number for that draw, to equal $40,000.  Brewer joked that he was going to use the winnings to take his wife out to dinner.

The jackpots are growing for the upcoming draws with Friday’s estimated Mega Millions® jackpot at $140 million, tonight’s estimated PowerBall® jackpot at $72 million, and Thursday’s estimated Wild Money jackpot at $223,000.
