How to Play 

1. Decide how many plays you want. Each play costs $3. You can choose either one, two, three, four or all five plays (A thru E) on each Powerball playslip.
2. The starting annuitized jackpot for Powerball is $20 million.
3. For each game, pick five numbers (5 of 69) in the white “Pick 5” box. Next, pick your one Powerball number (1 of 26) in the “Powerball” box below.
4. If you want the computer to randomly select your numbers, ask the clerk for a “Quick Pick”, or mark the “Quick Pick” box on the playslip.
5. Before submitting your playslip, make sure the numbers you have chosen are the ones you want. Powerball tickets cannot be canceled after they are processed. Responsibility for the numbers selected rests with the player, not the retailer or the Lottery.
6. If you want to play the same numbers for up to 15 consecutive drawings, mark the appropriate number of drawings in the Multi-Draw section.
7. Drawings are on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday night at 8:59 p.m. MT
8. Multiply your prize of $50,000 or less by the PowerPlay number. The PowerPlay multiplier can be 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 10 times. IMPORTANT: The 10 times multiplier is ONLY in play when the advertised annuity jackpot is $150 million or less. The Match 5 prize with PowerPlay is always $2,000,000.

MAKE SURE TO SIGN YOUR TICKET PRIOR TO PRESENTING FOR PAYMENT.

Payment: You have 60 days after you claim the jackpot to determine if you want the cash or the annuity option. The Jackpot Prize is paid as an annuity of 30 payments over 29 years or, at the election of the winner, in a lump sum payment of the cash value of the annuity prize. If the winner chooses the annuity, the annual payments will be increased each year by a percentage set out in the Powerball game rules. The jackpot is pari-mutuel. You win other cash prizes when you correctly match other Powerball numbers drawn. Prizes must be claimed within 180 days from the date of the drawing. All prizes for Powerball must be claimed in the state where the ticket was purchased.
