$40,000 Mega Millions® and
$10,000 PowerBall® Winning Tickets Sold

A $40,000 Mega Millions® ticket was sold in Rhode Island from Friday's drawing.  The winning ticket matched four numbers and the Mega Ball number, for a standard payout of $10,000.  The winner opted to purchase the Megaplier® for an extra dollar on the wager, which multiplied the $10,000 prize by four, the Megaplier® number, to equal $40,000.

The winning ticket was purchased from Phred's Drug, 1300 Oaklawn Ave., Cranston.

Tuesday's estimated Mega Millions® jackpot is $26 million.

Additionally, Saturday's estimated $103 PowerBall® jackpot resulted in a winning $10,000 PowerBall® ticket sold. 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 the player had opted for Power Play®, the $10,000 prize would have been increased to $40,000.

The winning ticket was purchased from Twin River, 100 Twin River Rd., Lincoln.

Wednesday's estimated PowerBall® jackpot is $123 million.

Both winning tickets have yet to be claimed.
