Main Body
The results for multi-state games were the same across all regions. For the Powerball, the winning numbers were 17-44-63-66-67 with Powerball 04 and a Power Play multiplier of 2. Similarly, the Powerball Double Play results were 22-25-27-47-50 with Powerball 21. In contrast, local games such as the 'Pick' and 'Cash' draws had different results because they are managed by each state's own rules.
多州遊戲的結果在所有地區均相同。Powerball 的中獎號碼為 17-44-63-66-67，Powerball 號碼為 04，Power Play 倍數為 2。同樣地，Powerball Double Play 的結果為 22-25-27-47-50，Powerball 號碼為 21。相比之下，如「Pick」和「Cash」等本地遊戲的結果則有所不同，因為它們是由各州根據自身的規則管理。
Regarding prize claims, most states have a similar limit for prizes that can be collected at retail stores. In Tennessee, Maryland, Missouri, and Washington, this limit is around $600, although Tennessee specifically sets it at $599. If a prize is higher than this amount, winners must follow a formal process, which includes providing a government ID and Social Security number. Maryland offers more options, such as casino windows, but winners of prizes over $5,000 must appear in person.
關於領獎，大多數州對於可在零售店領取的獎金上限設定相似。在田納西州、馬里蘭州、密蘇里州和華盛頓州，此上限約為 600 美元，儘管田納西州明確設定為 599 美元。若獎金高於此金額，中獎者必須遵循正式程序，包括提供政府身分證明文件和社會安全號碼。馬里蘭州提供更多選項，例如賭場窗口，但獎金超過 5,000 美元的中獎者必須親自出席。
Finally, the timing of these draws varies by time zone and game type. For example, Tennessee holds its Cash 3 and 4 draws three times a day, whereas Maryland runs some games every four minutes. Furthermore, Rhode Island allows jackpot winners 60 days to choose between a single lump-sum payment or a series of yearly payments, offering a level of financial flexibility not mentioned for the other states.
最後，這些開獎時間依據時區和遊戲類型而有所不同。例如，田納西州的 Cash 3 和 4 每日開獎三次，而馬里蘭州的部分遊戲每四分鐘就開獎一次。此外，羅德島州允許頭獎中獎者在 60 天內選擇單筆一次性支付或一系列年度支付，提供了其他州未提及的財務靈活性。

Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The "Contrast Shift": Moving Beyond "But"
At an A2 level, you likely use "but" for every difference. To reach B2, you need to signal how things are different. Look at the text: it doesn't just say things are different; it uses specific "bridge words" to guide the reader.
🔍 The Sophisticated Alternatives
1. "In contrast"
- Text Example: "In contrast, local games... had different results."
- The B2 Logic: Use this when you are comparing two completely different categories (Multi-state games vs. Local games). It is stronger and more formal than "but."
2. "Whereas"
- Text Example: "...Tennessee holds its draws three times a day, whereas Maryland runs some games every four minutes."
- The B2 Logic: This is a "balancing scale" word. Use it to put two opposing facts in one single sentence.
- A2 style: Tennessee draws 3 times. But Maryland draws every 4 minutes.
- B2 style: Tennessee draws 3 times, whereas Maryland draws every 4 minutes.
3. "Although"
- Text Example: "...this limit is around 599."
- The B2 Logic: Use this to introduce a small exception or a "surprise" detail that doesn't change the main point.
