$400,000 Winning Powerball Ticket Sold in Boise

 Boise; Idaho had another lucky Powerball winner from Wednesday night¥s draw, this time in Boise.nbsp; One ticket from Wednesday¥s $64 million draw matched all five numbers, but not the Powerball and had the PowerPlay multiplier of two making it worth $400,000.

 The winning numbers were 14, 21, 25, 45, and 53. The Powerball was 9 and the PowerPlay multiplier was 2. PowerPlay is an option players select at the time of purchase.

 For the sixteenth time since last July, Idaho has had a $200,000 or larger Powerball winner,stated Jeff Anderson, Idaho Lottery Director. quot;We are encouraging all our players in the Boise area to carefully review their tickets from Wednesday night and to sign the back of their ticket before submitting them for validation to secure their ownership.
