$100,000 Powerball Ticket Sold in Christmas Drawing; Jackpot Climbs to $700 Million for Tonight
A Powerball® ticket worth $100,000 was sold at Heber Springs Discount Tobacco, 2210 Highway 25B, for the Dec. 25 drawing. However, there was no jackpot winner, so the drawing for tonight will be for an estimated $700 million.
The winning numbers were 5, 12, 20, 24 and 29, with the Powerball being 4. The multiplier was two. The player matched four out of five white balls and the Powerball number. However, they increased their $50,000 prize to $100,000 by including the Power Play® option for an additional $1 per play.
“We urge all players who played Powerball at Heber Springs Discount Tobacco in the Christmas drawing to check their tickets,” said Eric Hagler, Arkansas Scholarship Lottery executive director. “The winner has 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.”
Tonight’s $700 million Powerball jackpot has a cash value of $352.3 million, making it the ninth-largest. It is the fourth Powerball jackpot to exceed half a billion dollars this calendar year.
