Powerball Produces Two $50,000 Winners, in Two Different Ways

The Three Stooges Fun-O-Rama Bonus Promotion Announces Latest Winners

Mississippi Lottery players are proving there’s more than one way to win with Powerball. In back-to-back drawings, two players each secured $50,000 prizes, with one player winning $50,000 after adding the $1 Double Play option to their ticket, while another matched numbers in the standard drawing to win $50,000, missing the chance to double their prize to $100,000 had they included the $1 Power Play option.

On Saturday, the player secured the win after matching four out of five white balls plus the Powerball in the Double Play drawing on a ticket purchased at Sprint Mart #9 in Fulton. For an additional $1, players can add the Powerball Double Play feature to their Powerball ticket for their numbers to have another chance to win in an additional drawing. 

Just two nights later, on Monday, another player nearly hit the estimated $180 million jackpot, missing by a single number, but still scored an impressive $50,000 by matching four of five white balls and the Powerball on a ticket purchased at Circle K #270515 in Southaven.

Powerball tickets are $2 per play, with Power Play and Double Play options available for an additional $1 each. Tickets must be purchased by 9:59 p.m. CT on drawing nights. Players have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prizes.
