Power Play Multiplies UP TO 10 TIMES in May

For a limited time, Power Play will multiply Powerball non-jackpot prizes UP TO 10 TIMES (2,3,4,or 5, or 10).

The Powerball 10x promotion will run for each Powerball drawing in May. The 10X could be drawn up to nine times in May, but if it does not get drawn at least once, the promotion will continue until the 10X is drawn.

How To Play Powerball

For Powerball, we draw five white balls out of a drum with 59 white balls, and one red ball out of a drum with 39 red balls, every Wednesday and Saturday night at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

Win by matching one of the nine ways to win (see chart below). Each play costs $1. Choose your own numbers or select Easy Pick. For more details on how to play Powerball, click here.

Power Play Can Increase Your Prize



Power Play is an add-on feature that multiplies winners’ non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4 or 5 times, or 10 times in May. When you buy a Powerball ticket and tell the clerk to add Power Play, you’ll pay $1 more per play.

The Power Play number (2, 3, 4 or 5, or 10 times in May) is randomly drawn before each Powerball draw show. If you win when you've added Power Play, your non-jackpot prize is multiplied by the Power Play multiplier for that draw. If you match five numbers without the PowerBall number, you would automatically win $1 million ($2 million in May when 10 is the Power Play number). For a list of prizes with Power Play, see the chart below.
