$40,000 PowerBall® PowerPlay® Winner in Rhode Island

Last night’s PowerBall® drawing yielded a $40,000 winning ticket sold in Rhode Island.  The ticket matched four numbers and the PowerBall® number for last night’s drawing.  The standard payout for this type of win is $10,000.  However, the winner added the Power Play® feature for an extra dollar which increased the prize to $40,000.

The winning ticket was purchased from Lafrontera Market at 1522 Broad St., Cranston.  The $40,000 prize has yet to be claimed. 

Saturday’s estimated PowerBall® jackpot is $100 million.
