Play more than one drawing by marking the "MULTI-DRAW" box on the play slip for 2, 3, 4, 5 or up to 10 consecutive drawings or just ask the clerk for "MULTI-DRAW."

Powerplay is a special feature that allows a winner to multiply the original prize amount by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times (does not include Jackpot). A player must choose the Powerplay option when they buy their Powerball ticket. Powerplay costs an additional $1 per play. The Powerplay multiplier is selected at random during every drawing.

There are nine ways to win! The Jackpot (won by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball) is either an annuity prize paid out over 29 years (30 payments) or a lump sum payment.
