"We are thrilled that Arizona is one of two states that sold a $1 million Powerball second prize winning ticket for Wednesday's draw," said Karen Bach, director of budget, products and communications for the Arizona Lottery. "Reaching 25 Powerball second-prize winners is a significant milestone for Arizona. We are excited that the number of new millionaires statewide is continuing to grow, and we only expect that trend to continue."
Powerball offers many appealing features to players, including better overall odds and jackpots that grow bigger, faster. The starting jackpot is $40 million and the second prize for matching all five numbers, without the Powerball, is $1 million.
In fact, there have been more than 10,000 Powerball winners in Arizona this week alone. This includes a $10,000 winning ticket for last night's draw, which was purchased at a Circle K located at 1153 S. Signal Butte Road in Mesa.
The increase in Powerball sales and wins in Arizona also means more money being returned to important state programs. Arizona Lottery dollars are allocated to fund a wide variety of public projects and programs throughout Arizona that fall under four main pillars: education, health & public welfare, economic & business development and the environment.
The next Powerball draw is Saturday, June 29, for an estimated $50 million jackpot. Tickets can be purchased at any Arizona Lottery retailer.
