Powerball Double Play Option produces another big win

Batesville player wins $50,000 with Powerball Double Play

May 7, 2025 – Mississippi Lottery players continued their hot streak over the weekend with Powerball and the Double Play option with a winning ticket purchased in Batesville. The player added the Double Play option for $1.00 when the player purchased their $2.00 Powerball ticket. The $3.00 ticket matched four out of five white balls plus the red Powerball. Double Play has a separate payout grid from the regular Powerball game making the win worth $50,000. The winning ticket was purchased at R&B Tobacco.

This marks another exciting Double Play win for Mississippi, following the $10 million Double Play jackpot win in Petal in February – the first of its kind in the state and the biggest Mississippi Lottery win to date, and only the fifth time the Double Play jackpot has been hit since it launched in August 2023. Two days later, a player in Mendenhall took home a $2 million Powerball win.

Double Play is an add-on feature available for an additional $1 per play. It offers players another chance to match their numbers in a second drawing held immediately after the main Powerball drawing, with top prizes up to $10 million. Another optional add-on feature for Powerball is Power Play. By adding Power Play for $1, players can multiply their non-jackpot winning prizes from 2 to 5 times.
