what is powerplay on powerball

Power Play is an add-on feature to the Powerball lottery game that allows players to increase their non-jackpot prize winnings for an additional $1 per play. The Power Play feature can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times, depending on the randomly selected multiplier number before each drawing. 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. The second prize is always doubled to $2 million with the Power Play option. The Power Play feature does not apply to the Powerball jackpot.
