Two $200,000 winning tickets were sold for the Monday, July 17 Powerball drawing. The tickets were purchased at Kwik Trip on 806 S. Main St. in West Bend and at Jandu Petroleum on 1101 Lake St. in Algoma.
Both tickets added the $1 Power Play option to their Powerball play. The result – two $50,000 winning tickets turned into two $200,000 winning tickets because of the 4X Power Play multiplier.
The winning tickets matched four of five numbers (5-8-9-17-41) but not the Powerball (21).
July has been a hot month for Wisconsin Powerball players. Since July 1, eight big winning tickets ranging from $50,000 to $200,000 have been sold at retailers across the state.
For the third time ever, the Powerball jackpot has reached the one-billion-dollar mark! The jackpot is currently estimated at $1 billion for the next drawing on Wednesday, July 19. The jackpot has an estimated cash value of $516.8 million.
The jackpot ranks as the seventh largest U.S. lottery jackpot and third largest Powerball jackpot, only behind the world record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won last year and the $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2016.
