what is power play on powerball

Power Play is an add-on feature to the Powerball lottery game that allows players to multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times for an additional $1 per play. The multiplier number is randomly selected before each drawing, and the 10X multiplier is only in play when the advertised jackpot annuity is $150 million or less. The Match 5 prize with Power Play is always $2 million. To play Powerball with Power Play, players must mark the Power Play box on their play slip or ask the sales associate to add the Power Play option.
