Reid Murphy of Muskego matched four numbers plus the Powerball in the Saturday, February 6 Powerball drawing to win $50,000. The winning numbers from the drawing were 4, 13, 31, 36 and 52. The Powerball was 8 and the Power Play number was 3. Murphy purchased his ticket at Spring West at 10537 Greenfield Avenue in West Allis.

How to Play

Tickets must be purchased by 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday and Saturday to be included in the drawing:

· Each ticket costs $2 per play

· Choose five different numbers 1-69 and one Powerball number 1-26

· Sign your ticket and check it as soon as possible to avoid missing out on any prize you may have won

While the jackpot gets the most attention, there are other prizes to be won in Powerball. Prizes range from $4 for matching just the Powerball to $1 million for matching all five numbers (but not the Powerball). For an extra $1 per play, you can choose Power Play to increase your non-jackpot winnings which will be multiplied by the drawing’s Power Play number. For example, if your prize is $50,000 and the Power Play number is 5, you win $250,000 just by adding Power Play. The $1 million prize automatically becomes $2 million with Power Play.
