Powerball with Power Play

HOW TO WIN/ODDS OF WINNING | POWER PLAY | PROCEDURES [PDF] | TV DRAWING

The most recent winning Powerball jackpot from June 27, 2009, worth $25,000,000(annuity), went to a single ticket in Connecticut.

Players are now able to purchase up to 14 advance draws.

Powerball with Power Play® is an exciting, multi-state jackpot game for players who enjoy lots of payout levels with the potential to win millions!

Powerball gives you nine ways to win. The jackpot starts at $20 million and keeps growing until somebody wins. Just pick five numbers from 1 to 59 (white balls). Then pick one more number from 1 to 39 (the red Powerball). It’s just $1 per play for a chance to win millions. Jackpot winners can be paid in 30 annual payments over 29 years or in one lump-sum cash payment. If players choose the annuity, the annual payments will be increased each year by a percentage set out in the Powerball game procedures. The annuity payment is approximately twice the estimated cash jackpot amount. Jackpot winners have 60 days after they claim their prize to determine how they want to be paid. Overall odds of winning a Powerball prize are approximately 1 in 35.1. Odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 195.2 million.

You can purchase up to fourteen (14) draws in advance. Remember, your cost increases for each draw you add.

At the time of purchase, for an extra $1 per Powerball play, players can add the Power Play option for the chance to multiply their prizes (except the jackpot) by two, three, four, or five times. Players can win up to $1 million by adding Power Play to their Powerball ticket.

Power Play MultiplierEach night of the drawing, a Power Play wheel randomly draws the multiplier number before the winning Powerball numbers are drawn. If you win a prize on your Powerball ticket (except the jackpot), and have purchased the Power Play option, you receive the regular prize amount MULTIPLIED by the Power Play number that was selected. For example, if you win $7 on Powerball and have purchased Power Play for that ticket, you’ll win $7 multiplied by the Power Play number (2, 3, 4, or 5) which could be up to $35! Match 5 winners who added Power Play for that drawing will automatically win 5 times the regular prize amount - $1 million - no matter what Power Play number was drawn. In some cases, this prize may be paid on a pari-mutuel basis and will be lower.

Match 5 Bonus: Whenever the Powerball jackpot reaches a record level, the amount of the jackpot prize will be limited, by rule, to increases for each drawing of no more than $25 million. The prize money collected in excess of the advertised jackpot amount, if any, will be placed into a bonus prize pool and will accumulate until there is a jackpot winner. When there is a jackpot winner, the bonus prize pool will be divided equally among all winners of the $200,000 prize. The bonus will be made to winners as one lump-sum cash payment.
