Man wins $1 million using Powerball Power Play – December 14th 2011

  by: admin - Category:

One man has demonstrated to lottery fans just how opting for the Power Play multiplier when playing USA Powerball can reap dividends for lucky lotto enthusiasts.

Jose Antonetti from Havre de Grace in Maryland thought he had won $200,000 when he checked his numbers, but then he remembered he had opted for the Power Play, which entitles him to a much larger prize.

Indeed, when Emma – his wife – looked online, she confirmed that their total payout was in fact $1 million.

The Power Play feature can be purchased by USA Powerball players. This means any non-jackpot prize won in that game will be multiplied by the Power Play number drawn – 2, 3, 4 or 5.

Furthermore, the match 5 prize amount with a Power Play option will always be multiplied by 5 for $1 million.

Mr Antonetti  – who also has a daughter – said that he intends to pay off his mortgage and credit card bills and is looking forward to using his money to visit some of his family in Florida.

Fans can try out the Power Play option if they play USA Powerball today, as this evening’s (December 14th) lotto draw is set to have a top prize of $78 million.
