A lucky player in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, defied the odds of roughly 1 in 913,000 by matching four numbers and the Powerball in a recent draw. The remarkable win occurred after the player spent just $3, as reported by the Tri State Alert.
For this Powerball draw, the player spent $2 on one line of numbers, purchasing the ticket from a local bar and grill. However, the player decided to spend an extra dollar on the Power Play option. This added feature allows players to multiply their non-jackpot winnings.
Thanks to the Power Play feature, the usual $50,000 prize for matching four numbers and the Powerball was tripled. On March 29, the Power Play multiplier was set at three, significantly increasing the prize.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Blue and Gray Bar and Grill, a local establishment located about 140 miles from Philadelphia in Gettysburg. The restaurant is also set to benefit from the win, as it will receive a $500 reward for selling the lucky ticket.
This win highlights the potential benefits of small investments in the Powerball, especially when utilizing features like Power Play to boost earnings.
