Diane Drennon said “Yes!” to Power Play® when she purchased her weekly Powerball® ticket for the July 14 big jackpot drawing. Drennon matched 5 of 5 numbers but not the Powerball to win $200,000, but because she decided to Power Play for an extra $1 her winnings were automatically multiplied to $1,000,000. “It just doesn’t seem real!
