How Power Play for Powerball Works

You could power up your lottery winnings by up to 10x.

How would you like to multiply your lottery winnings by 10? Meet Power Play.

The Power Play is a $1 optional feature you can add to your Powerball play that can boost your non-jackpot winnings by 2, 3, 4, 5 or even 10 times, depending on what Power Play number is drawn.

How does Power Play work?

The Power Play is a special number that is randomly drawn before each Powerball drawing.  This "multiplier" number is chosen by a random number generator with weighted values for reach multiplier option. 

There are twenty-four 2X values; thirteen 3X values; three 4X values; and two 5X values. And when jackpots are below $150 Million, one 10X value is added to the mix!

Power Play numbers: How much can you win?

The payout chart below shows how much each Power Play number drawn would boost your prize winnings. Important to know:

  • The multiplier does not apply to a jackpot prize (Sorry! We don't make the rules.)
  • The Match 5 numbers prize is always $2 million no matter which multiplier is drawn. Without Power Play, it's $1 million.
  • The 10X multiplier is only in play when the advertised jackpot is $150 million or less.

Power Play Winners

We've had lots of Jackpocket users multiply their winnings thanks to Power Play.

A Jackpocket user in New York picked his own lottery numbers and matched 5 of 6 regular numbers plus the Powerball. The 3X Power Play turned a $50,000 win into a $150,000 windfall.

Our winner said, “The multiplier is what made the prize so big. That $1 made a $150,000 return. I always add the multiplier. Why not?”
