how to play powerball?

Answer 1

HOW TO PLAY

Play America's favorite game! With multi-million-dollar jackpots that increase with each rollover, POWERBALL® offers players the chance to win BIG for just $2 per play. Match all five white balls and the Powerball to win the jackpot! Match just the five white balls and win $1 million!

Players can also purchase multiple add-on features for increased prizes and additional chances to win. Add Power Play® for an additional $1 per play to win $2 million for matching the five white balls or to multiply their other non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, or 5X. When the advertised jackpot is $150 million or less a 10X multiplier will also be added. Add Double Play® for $1 per play for a chance to win up to $10 million in a separate drawing following the POWERBALL drawing.
