NEW: RI Lottery Player Wins $1 Million
Monday, September 26, 2011
One lucky Rhode Island Lottery player became a millionaire this weekend.
The player won $1,000,000 in Saturday night’s PowerBall drawing. The ticket matched five numbers but not the PowerBall number, winning the standard payout of $200,000.
The Rhode Islander added the Power Play feature for one extra dollar, which automatically multiplied the $200,000 prize by five to equal $1,000,000.
Hess Express at 1190 Main Rd., Richmond, sold the winning $1,000,000 ticket. The prize has not yet been claimed.
Wednesday’s estimated jackpot is at $37 million.
