Powerball jackpot increases to $337 million; tied for 15th largest in history
MILWAUKEE -- The Powerball jackpot for the Saturday night, June 3rd drawing has increased to $337 million -- which comes to an estimated $209.1 million cash payout.
The $337 million Powerball jackpot is tied for the 15th largest in the game's history.
Tickets must be purchased by 9 p.m. to be included in the Saturday, June 3 drawing:
While the jackpot gets the most attention, there are other prizes to be won in Powerball. Prizes range from $4 for matching just the Powerball to $1 million for matching all five numbers (but not the Powerball). For an extra $1 per play, you can choose Power Play to increase your non-jackpot winnings which will be multiplied by the drawing's Power Play number. For example, if your prize is $50,000 and the Power Play number is 5, you win $250,000 just by adding Power Play. The $1 million prize automatically becomes $2 million with Power Play.
In the 22 Powerball drawings since March 15 (March 18 – May 31) there have been thirty-three $1 million winners who could have doubled their winnings to $2 million with Power Play.
