Alejandres would have won $1 million had he purchased Power Play on his ticket for $1 more. He purchased his winning POWERBALL ticket at Murphy USA, located at 36115 Highway 27 in Haines City.

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.
