Wisconsin has two lucky players from the Wednesday, July 27 Powerball drawing. Each player matched four out of five numbers plus the Powerball which earns them the $50,000 prize.

Since there was not a Powerball jackpot winner Wednesday night, the jackpot continues to grow. The Powerball jackpot for Saturday night's drawing is now at $478 million – making it the fifth largest Powerball jackpot in the game's history. The $478 million comes to an estimated $330.6 million cash payout. 

Tickets must be purchased by 9:00 PM to be included in the Saturday, July 30 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.
