Thursday, July 30, 2009 posted 11:18 AM EDT

The Florida Lottery today announced that Wednesday’s Powerball drawing resulted in a rollover, producing a $120 million jackpot for the next drawing.

The winning numbers were 2-5-38-43-59 and the Powerball was 8. The Power Play multiplier was 2.

More than 97,000 Florida Powerball players won prizes in the game. Prize payouts are as follows

No tickets matched five numbers.

Two tickets matched four numbers plus the Powerball, each winning $10,000.

112 tickets matched four numbers. Each is worth $100.

170 tickets matched three numbers plus the Powerball. Each is worth $100.

6,279 tickets matched three numbers. Each is worth $7.

3,215 tickets matched two numbers plus the Powerball. Each is worth $7.

21,598 tickets matched one number plus the Powerball. Each is worth $4.

43,674 tickets matched only the Powerball. Each is worth $3.

22,297 tickets added Power Play and matched one of the non-jackpot winning combinations, multiplying their winnings by 2.

Power Play is an add-on feature to Powerball that allows players to multiply their non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four or five times for $1 more per play. Power Play players who match five numbers win $1 million — the original match 5 prize multiplied by five. All other non-jackpot prizes are multiplied by the Power Play multiplier, from two through five, selected at random at the start of each drawing.

The next Powerball drawing will be held at 10:59 p.m. Saturday.

Powerball is a multi-state, mega-jackpot lotto game that is played in 30 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The game is administered by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). The game’s starting jackpot is $20 million, and increases with each rollover if no one matches all five numbers plus the Powerball.
