| How to Play Powerball - Jackpots start at $20 Million |
|
|
Select 5 out of 59 numbers from the white balls (these can be drawn in any order to win).
Then select 1 out of 39 numbers for the red "Powerball." |
|
|
You may use a playslip to select your numbers, or ask for an "EASY PICK" from the clerk and the computer will select the numbers for you. |
|
|
Each play is $1, and each panel is a separate play. Add Power Play for your chance to multiply your winnings for only
$1 extra. |
|
Play more than one drawing by marking the "MULTIDRAW" box on the playslip for 2, 3, 4, 5 or up to 10 consecutive drawings, or just ask the clerk for "MULTIDRAW." |
|
Power Play costs an additional $1 per play and guarantees to multiply the original prize amount by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times (does not include the Jackpot*). The Power Play multiplier is selected at random during every drawing.
*However, the Match 5 prize (5 of 5 white balls) will be fixed at a minimum of 5x, thus guaranteeing a prize of $1 million for those who purchase the Power Play option. |
|
|
Tickets may be purchased until 8:59 pm the evening of the drawing. Drawings are held on Wednesday and Saturday nights at 9:59 pm. |
