This summer, another fortunate Atlantic City visitor won a life-changing prize. This was the case for one gambler who visited Hard Rock Atlantic City near the end of June.

Powerball Jackpot Grows to $208M for Sep 23 Drawing
The Powerball jackpot continues to swell after yet another unsuccessful drawing. While no one claimed the big jackpot, however, two players scooped up significant prizes.
The Drawing Handed Seven-Figure Prizes to Two Players
The September 21 drawing was largely unremarkable, resulting in no jackpot win. With some $197 million on the line, potential winners would have been in for a huge payday. The cash value of the jackpot, meanwhile, stood at $99 million, promising to change the life of anyone lucky enough to match all six numbers.
The winning white numbers, for reference, were 17, 19, 21, 37 and 45. The red Powerball stood at 14.
While no one succeeded in grabbing the Grand Prize, two American players won big, securing seven-figure prizes after matching all five white numbers. The players in question narrowly missed the jackpot but still earned huge sums of money.
One of them, from North Carolina, grabbed $1 million for matching the five white numbers. The other winning ticket was sold in Florida and secured $2 million instead since its player had the Power Play option active.
Power Play, for context, is an optional feature that multiplies players’ wins for a small additional sum. Power Play costs $1 and could multiply winnings by up to x10, depending on the size of the win.
The Stakes Are Getting Higher
As no one won the big prize, it will now carry on to the next drawing. Set to take place in some 12 hours from the time of this writing, the September 23 drawing will provide players with a shot at an even bigger jackpot.
The jackpot is currently standing at $208 million, according to official estimates, with a cash value of $104.6 million.
The previous Powerball jackpot was won fairly quickly by a player from California. The size of the jackpot at the time was $44.3 million. This win came just several days after a player from Pennsylvania secured the previous $213.8 million jackpot.
In the meantime, the Mega Millions jackpot was reset just recently after a very lucky Texan player won $800 million. This came soon after a Hard Rock Bet player turned their online wager into a $136,520.36 payday.
