POWERBALL® JACKPOT GROWS TO $31 MILLION

TALLAHASSEE -- The Florida Lottery today announced that the Wednesday, October 21, POWERBALL® drawing resulted in a rollover, producing a $31 million jackpot for the next drawing.

The winning POWERBALL numbers were: 06 - 16 - 34 - 45 - 51 and the Powerball was 04. The Power Play multiplier was 2.

More than 66,000 Florida POWERBALL players won prizes in the game. Prize payouts are as follows:

1 player matched five numbers, winning $200,000.00.
3 players matched four numbers plus the Powerball, each winning $10,000.00.
80 players matched four numbers, each winning $100.00.
109 players matched three numbers plus the Powerball, each winning $100.00.
4,462 players matched three numbers, each winning $7.00.
2,129 players matched two numbers plus the Powerball, each winning $7.00.
14,596 players matched one number plus the Powerball, each winning $4.00.
29,575 players matched only the Powerball, each winning $3.00.
15,802 players added Power Play and matched one of the non-jackpot winning combinations listed above, multiplying their non-jackpot winnings by up to five times.

Power Play is an add-on feature to POWERBALL that allows players to multiply their non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four or five times for $1 more per play. Power Play players who match five numbers win $1 million - the original match 5 prize multiplied by five. All other non-jackpot prizes are multiplied by the Power Play multiplier, from two through five, selected at random at the start of each drawing.

The next POWERBALL drawing will be held Saturday, October 24, at 10:59 p.m. ET with a $31 million jackpot. POWERBALL drawings may be viewed on the Lottery's TV carrier stations statewide and on the Florida Lottery Web site at flalottery.com. Winning numbers are available on the Lottery Web site, at retailers statewide and by phone at (850) 921-PLAY.

POWERBALL is a multi-state, mega-jackpot lotto game that is played in 30 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The game is administered by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). The game¿s starting jackpot is $20 million, and increases with each rollover if no one matches all five numbers plus the Powerball.
