$27,063 Wild Money Jackpot Hit
$10,000 PowerBall® Ticket Claimed

The jackpot for Rhode Island’s own progressive jackpot game, Wild Money, was hit last night for $27,063.  This is the second jackpot win on the game in less than two weeks.

The winning ticket was purchased at A T Casali Liquors on Cranston Street in Cranston.  The prize has yet to be claimed.
The Wild Money drawings take place three times a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights, live on WPRI-TV at 7:29pm. 

Rhode Island's PowerBall® jackpot winner still has not come forward, but a Warwick man claimed a $10,000 winning ticket from the February 18 drawing.  The ticket matched four numbers and the PowerBall® number.  The standard payout for this type of win is $10,000.  The winner did not purchase the Power Play® feature for an additional dollar on the wager.  If he had, the $10,000 prize would have increased to $40,000.

Rite Aid on Warwick Avenue in Warwick sold the winning ticket. 

Tonight's estimated PowerBall® jackpot is $60 million.
