Rhode Island Lottery Pays Out

The Daily Numbers drawing this past Friday paid out 270%.  The Rhode Island Lottery awarded $191,873 worth of prizes, while taking in $70,972 in net sales.  There were a total of 27 tickets sold with a prize value of $2,500 and 33 tickets with a prize of $2,604 from Friday’s drawing.    

The popular winning number combination drawn was 1 9 5 4. 

So far, three big Daily Numbers winners have come forward.  Two of the players won on the Friday night drawing, each cashing in 2 separate $5,000 winning tickets totaling $10,000 each. A Warwick man bought his tickets from Cheapskates on Warwick Avenue in Warwick.  The other woman was a Cranston woman who bought one of her tickets from One Stop Shop on Oaklawn Avenue and the other one from A & B Mart on Pontiac Avenue.  Both stores were in Cranston. 

One Stop Shop also sold a $25,000 winning Daily Numbers ticket for the Saturday night drawing.  The Cranston woman that bought that winning ticket made a $5 wager on a 4 digit straight bet.  

The Daily Numbers drawings take place Monday through Saturday at 6:59 pm and at 6:29 pm on Sundays, live on WPRI-TV. 

Saturday night also had a $10,000 winner in the PowerBall® drawing.  The ticket matched 4 numbers and the PowerBall® number.  Crossroads Wine & Spirits on Bulgarmarsh Road in Tiverton sold the winning ticket, which has not yet been claimed.  The estimated PowerBall® jackpot for Wednesday night is $67 million.
