$214.7 Million Powerball Jackpot Won In Delaware
10/10/04
(Powerball) Some lucky Powerball player from Delaware has more than 200 million reasons to celebrate this morning. That’s because that person has the one winning ticket worth $214.7 million.
The $214.7 million jackpot ranks as the sixth largest Powerball jackpot ever, and the tenth largest lottery jackpot all-time. It also ranks as the 5th largest jackpot ever won by a single ticket.
The winner will now have to decide between the 29-year, 30-payment annuity and the cash option worth $116.9 million. The winner will have 60 days after their ticket is validated to make that decision.
In addition to the jackpot winner, 1,734,495 other Powerball players across the nation won a total of more than $12.7 million in cash prizes.
This 16-draw jackpot run started with the Wednesday, August 18 drawing. During this run, over 10.1 million Powerball players across the nation won a total of more than $82.7 million in non-jackpot cash prizes.
The numbers drawn were: 1, 3, 10, 47, 48 and the Powerball was 27. The Power Play multiplier was 3.
Seventeen players correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $100,000. The tickets were sold in Colorado, Connecticut (3), DC, Indiana (2), Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Pennsylvania (3), South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Three additional match 5 players also purchased the Power Play option. The Power Play winning tickets were purchased in Colorado, Nebraska, and Tennessee. Because those three players spent the extra dollar, they multiplied their prize by 3 for a total win of $300,000.
A total of 111 players matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $5,000. Eleven additional players of match 4+1 purchased the Power Play option, giving them a total win of $15,000.
More than 140,000 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 3 Saturday. They were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you can multiply your winnings, except for the jackpot.
Players purchased more than 68.1 million tickets between Thursday and Saturday night.
The lotteries sold more than $2.2 billion in Powerball tickets in FY04. That translates into more than $660 million for worthwhile state projects.
The jackpot for the Wednesday, October 13 drawing will be $10 million with a cash option of $5.4 million.
Powerball is now played in 27 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

$214 million lottery ticket sold in Del.
Winner of sixth-largest jackpot ever told to take deep breath, get a lawyer

Someone who bought a Powerball ticket in Delaware has a secret worth $214.7 million dollars.
And as eager as Wayne Lemons is to know who the lucky winner of Saturday's jackpot is, the state lottery director advises that mystery person not to rush into his office.
"Take a very deep breath, take another, wait and talk to the best lawyers and tax advisers, and put the ticket in a safe place," Lemons said Sunday. "We believe in a situation like this with so much money involved, the winner should get good legal and tax advice before they claim it."
He said the Delaware Lottery Office will hold a news conference later in the week. State offices are closed today for Columbus Day so officials won't know which store sold the winning ticket until Tuesday.
All lottery officials knew Sunday was that one ticket - and only one - had landed the Multi-State Lottery Association's Powerball jackpot, which had been accumulating since Aug. 18.
The $214.7 million jackpot ranks as the sixth-largest ever. It's also the fifth-largest ever won by a single lottery ticket.
The winner has a year to claim the prize, Lemons said, and can choose between a 29-year, 30-payment annuity or a cash option of $116.9 million.
The winning numbers were 01, 03, 10, 47, 48, and the Powerball was 27. The Power Play multiplier was 3.
The last time Delaware had a Powerball winner was 2001, when Hockessin teacher Kathleen Kearney and her brother in Pittsburgh won a share of a $294.8 million jackpot. They split the prize with three other winners. That ticket was sold at Books & Tobacco in Hockessin's Lantana Square Shopping Center.
Owner Andy Somers said he'd love it if his store sold the winning ticket a second time.
"After the last big one, we got a big feed of people for a couple weeks," he said.
But he warned players to check their numbers. Don't believe rumors about which store sold the winning ticket and then accidentally throw away a prize, Somers said.
Powerball is played in 27 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. About $660 million was raised through the program for state projects.
And this past week it raised hopes for players who bought more than 68.1 million tickets between Thursday and Saturday.
"This is really a life-changing event for someone," Lemons said.
