Middletown, PA – A winning Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball® with Power Play® ticket worth $100,000 for the Wednesday, May 2, drawing was sold in Philadelphia. 
 
The ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn, 05-14-31-40-50, and the red Powerball 06, to win $100,000, less applicable withholding. It was sold with the $1 Power Play option, which boosted the prize to $100,000 instead of $50,000 because the multiplier drawn was two.
 
Gateway Newstand in the Shops at Liberty Place, Market St., Philadelphia, earns a $500 bonus for selling the ticket.
 
Winners can be identified only after prizes are claimed and tickets validated. The ticket holder should sign the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at the nearest Lottery office. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball prizes expire one year from the drawing date.

The Powerball jackpot rolled to an estimated annuity value of $215 million, or $127.7 million cash, for the Saturday, May 5, drawing.

How to play Powerball: Players pay $2 and select five white balls from the first set of 69 numbers plus a single red ball, the Powerball, from a second set of 26 numbers. Players may select their own numbers using a Powerball playslip or opt for computer-selected quick picks. Players must match all five numbers drawn and the Powerball number to win the jackpot. There also are eight additional ways for players to win a prize.
 
For an extra $1, purchasing the Power Play option allows a winner to increase lower-tier prizes by a factor of 2, 3, 4 or 5, depending on the Power Play number drawn. A 10X multiplier is available whenever the jackpot is $150 million or less. The jackpot and the Match 5 prize are not multiplied by this number. The Match 5 prize with the Power Play option is set at $2 million. It is $1 million without Power Play.
