You cannot play it separately and you cannot opt in later. You add Power Play when you buy a Powerball ticket by checking the box on your playslip and paying an additional $1 per line. The only exception is the Match 5 prize of $1 million, which becomes $2 million for Power Play ticket holders, no matter which number is drawn.
During each Powerball draw, a separate Power Play number is drawn ahead of the main numbers.Įveryone who opted-in to Power Play and who wins a non-jackpot prize has it multiplied by that figure. Power Play is an option that players can add to their Powerball ticket to multiply the value of non-jackpot prizes.
