Power Play option

It is quite an unusual option for the game because the player needs to decide if wants to have better odds for the main jackpot or want to win more with lower divisions of payouts, using the same amount of money wagered on the tickets. A player can activate power play for a cost of $1 and it multiplies lower tier winnings up to 5 times. When the jackpot is below $150 million it can be multiplied even 10 times. Power Play is drawn in a separate machine.

Powerball prizes & odds

Biggest prizes are paid gradually in 30 annual payments unless you decide to take lump cash out, but a sum of this payment is always much less. This is due to the falling value of money with time. The interesting fact is that all tier prizes are fixed except jackpot prize.
