The Powerball jackpot continues to grow and it produced third-tier winners in Maryland most recently including a ticket worth $200,000 that was sold in College Park for last night’s drawing.
The ticket was purchased at the 7-Eleven at 8900 Edmonston Road in Prince George’s County.
The winning numbers for the Wednesday, Sept. 30 drawing are: 4, 6, 23, 33, 44; and the Powerball was 13.
The College Park player matched four of the first five numbers drawn as well as the Powerball and paid an extra $1 for the Power Play option, which increased the prize by a randomly selected multiplier. It was that winner’s lucky night as the multiplier came up as X4 on Wednesday, increasing the prize from $50,000 to $200,000.
This is the fourth third-tier winner over the past two drawings. In Monday night’s drawing, a North Beach player won $150,000 and players in Lutherville and Middle River each won $50,000.
Overall, 13,470 Maryland Powerball players won prizes starting at $4 but no one has hit the Powerball jackpot since the Aug. 12 drawing. Saturday night’s jackpot is set at an estimated annuity value of $440 million, with a one-time payment option of $183.1 million.
The Lottery encourages the winners to sign the backs of their tickets and keep them in a safe location. All players have 182 days after the date of the drawing to claim the prize.
Instructions for claiming prizes are available on the How to Claim page. Prizes of more than $25,000 must be claimed through Lottery headquarters, either in person or by mail.
