DAVENPORT MAN CLAIMS $200,000 POWERBALL® PRIZE TALLAHASSEE-- The Florida Lottery today announced that Raphael Martinez, 39, of Davenport, claimed $200,000.00 from the POWERBALL® drawing held on September 5. Martinez, who regularly plays POWERBALL and FLORIDA LOTTO™, said he plans to use his winnings to purchase a new home and travel. Martinez would have won $1 million had he purchased Power Play® on his ticket for $1 more. He purchased his winning ticket at 7-Eleven, located at 407 S. Goldenrod Road in Orlando. POWERBALL jackpots start at $20 million and increase with each rollover. Power Play is an add-on feature to POWERBALL that gives players a chance to win up to $1 million. With the purchase of a POWERBALL ticket players can add Power Play for $1 more per play to multiply their non-jackpot prize winnings. Power Play purchasers who match 5 numbers will win $1 million - the POWERBALL match 5 prize multiplied by 5. All other non-jackpot prizes will be multiplied by the Power Play number, from 2 through 5, selected at draw time. The next POWERBALL drawing will be held Saturday, September 12, at 10:59 p.m. ET with a $81 million jackpot.
