Powerball drawings generate two Mississippi millionaires

Feb. 13, 2025-Two Mississippi Lottery players are now millionaires after a Powerball ticket purchased in Mendenhall won $2 million two short days after a ticket purchased in Petal won $10 million.

The ticket purchased in Wednesday night’s drawing matched all five white ball numbers securing a $1 million win. Because the buyer added the $1 Power Play option – and the multiplier for the drawing was 2 – the prize doubled to $2 million.

The ticket purchased in Monday night’s drawing in Petal matched all five white balls plus the Powerball in the Double Play drawing, winning the Double Play jackpot of $10 million.
