Multiply Your Powerball Winnings Up To $1 Million!
For just $1 more per play, a player can ADD POWER PLAY to multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2 to 5 times. On draw nights, a Power Play multiplier (2, 3, 4 or 5) is drawn. If a player’s Powerball ticket includes Power Play, the prize is MULTIPLIED by the Power Play number! The probability for the multiplier is 25% for each number: 2, 3, 4 and 5.
MATCH FIVE AND WIN A MILLION! If you MATCH FIVE (five white balls) with POWER PLAY, the prize will always be multiplied by 5X for a $1 million prize, regardless of the Power Play number drawn.

How The Power Play Multiplier Number Is Chosen
Beginning with the drawing on January 7, 2009, the Power Play multiplier will be drawn with a random number generator. There are 16 numbers inserted into a computerized system: four 5's, four 4's, four 3's, and four 2's. The random number generator (RNG), selects the Power Play number for each draw.
