$20,000 PowerBall® PowerPlay® Winner
$12,000 Hot Cash Winner

The temperature is rising, and Rhode Island Lottery players are on fire. A $20,000 PowerBall® PowerPlay® winning ticket was sold for last night’s drawing. 
The ticket matched four numbers and the PowerBall® number, winning the standard payout of $10,000.  This player also purchased the PowerPlay® feature for an additional dollar on the wager which multiplied the winnings by two, Wednesday’s PowerPlay® number, to equal $20,000.  
Cumberland Farms at 302 North Main Street in Slatersville sold the winning ticket, which has yet to be claimed. 

Additionally, there was a $12,000 Hot Cash Instant Ticket winner. The North Providence gentleman purchased the ticket from The Inn, Inc. at 2227 West Shore Road in Warwick.

Saturday’s estimated PowerBall® jackpot has climbed to $171 million.
