Columbus Man Wins $30,000 Playing Powerball Power Play®
Donald Kiesel of Columbus recently won $30,000 playing Powerball Power Play from the Nebraska Lottery.
There were more than 12,000 Nebraska Lottery winners in the Saturday, March 28, drawings. Among these winners was Kiesel, who purchased his winning ticket at Fast Mart, 3222 23rd Street in Columbus. The ticket contained four of the five winning white ball numbers (2, 4, 6, 12, 38) and the Powerball number (17) from the March 28 drawing for $10,000.
Because Kiesel added the $1 Power Play option to his ticket, his prize was multiplied by the 3X Power Play multiplier for a total of $30,000.
While claiming his prize on April 3, Kiesel told Nebraska Lottery officials that he learned he had won after seeing the winning numbers in the Omaha World-Herald newspaper. “I looked and looked at the numbers, and then I double-checked them on the computer,” said Kiesel. He plans to take a trip using his winnings.
Four hundred and eighty-three Nebraska Lottery players have won the $10,000 Powerball prize to date. The odds of winning $10,000 playing Powerball are 1 in 648,976. Adding the $1 Power Play option, which does not affect the odds of winning, gives players the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes two, three, four or five times. The overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 31.8.
