JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – A lucky Mississippi Lottery player will lay claim to $10 million thanks to a Powerball ticket!
According to the Mississippi Lottery, the ticket purchased at the Petal Food Mart in Petal matched all five Double Play white balls plus the Double Play Powerball in Monday night’s drawing.
The Powerball Double Play feature launched nationwide August 23, 2021. The Mississippi Lottery launched the Double Play feature at all participating lottery retail stores in September 2023.
Since 2021, only four other players nationwide have claimed the $10 million Powerball Double Play top prize:
- Maryland: One win in 2021
- Florida: Two wins in 2022
- Kentucky: One win in 2024
“This is a milestone for the Mississippi Lottery,” said Mississippi Lottery President Jeff Hewitt. “Not only do we have our first Powerball Double Play top-prize winner, but this is also the largest lottery win in our state lottery’s history. It’s an exciting day for players and retailers.”
For an additional $1, players can add the Powerball Double Play feature to their Powerball ticket to have another chance to win in an additional drawing.
