A player who purchased a Powerball ticket in Hickory Valley in Hardeman County used the Power Play option to become the latest Lottery player to win $1 million.
The ticket matched five white balls in last night’s Powerball drawing, which is a $200,000 prize. However, that win was increased to $1 million since the Power Play multiplier drawn was five. No additional details are available until the player claims the prize.
Last night’s winner is the 12th Tennessee Lottery player to win $1 million or more since the Lottery began selling tickets on Jan. 20. The Powerball jackpot is estimated at $20 million for the next drawing on Saturday.
In addition, the Lotto 5 jackpot surpasses one-half million as $525,000 rolls for the next drawing on Friday.
