Maryland players won big third-tier prizes Oct. 19 in regular and Double Play games
Two dollars and a dream are all it takes to try to win the Powerball jackpot on Saturday, which rolled to an estimated annuity of $550 million, even as Maryland players scored $150,057 and $50,000 this week.
If hit on Saturday, this will be the second-largest Powerball jackpot of 2022. Players scored jackpot Powerball prizes five times this year, with the top amount of $632.6 million hit Jan. 5 and split between two tickets sold in California and Wisconsin.
The estimated cash option for the Saturday, Oct. 22, drawing is $277.5 million.
Even though no one hit the jackpot on Wednesday, one Maryland player bought a ticket that returned a prize of $150,057 in the regular drawing by adding the Power Play multiplier feature. A second player won $50,000 in the Double Play drawing. Another 22,417 state players won prizes ranging from $4 to $100 in the regular drawing and 2,591 Maryland players won prizes of $7 to $50,000 in the Double Play drawing.
The winning numbers for the Oct. 19 drawing were 6, 8, 15, 27 and 42; the Powerball was 10 and the Power Play multiplier was x3. Winning numbers in the Double Play drawing were 4, 24, 32, 55 and 59; the Powerball was 13.
Kaywood Liquors, at 2205 Varnum Street in Mt. Rainier (Prince George’s County), sold the $150,057-winning ticket. Schroeder’s Liquors at 479 North East Road in North East (Cecil County) sold the $50,000-winning ticket.
