$200,000 Powerball Ticket Sold in South
Dakota
(Pierre) – A ticket that
won $200,000 in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing was sold in Martin. The
ticket was one of five in the nation that matched the five white balls, but
not the red Powerball to win the game’s second prize.
The winning Powerball
numbers for the Sept. 13, 2006 drawing were: 15, 19, 26, 45, 47 and the
Powerball was 3. The Power Play multiplier was 4.
Lottery director Norm
Lingle said the ticket holder should sign the back of the ticket
immediately, put it in a safe place, and contact the Lottery office in Rapid
City (605-394-5106) or Pierre (605-773-5770) to make arrangements to
validate the ticket and claim the prize.
The winner has 180 days
to claim the prize.
Because no one won the
jackpot Wednesday night, the estimated jackpot for the next Powerball
drawing on Saturday is $157 million.
Powerball is played in
29 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds
of winning the jackpot are 1:146,107,962. The odds of winning the game’s
second prize are 1:3,563,609.
