Power Play

The Power Play number drawn is between 2-5, or when jackpots are $150 million or less, the 10X Power Play multiplier is also available to be drawn. If you have purchased Power Play and you win with your Powerball numbers, your prize amount (excluding the jackpot* and the Match 5 prize**) will be multiplied by the Power Play number drawn. Win $2 million** with Match 5 of 5 Power Play prize!
Total ticket cost is the total amount wagered multiplied by the number of drawings selected.

For an additional $1 per play, add Double Play for your chance to win up to $10 million in a separate drawing using the same Powerball numbers. Players who purchase a Powerball ticket in-store will have the option to add-on the Double Play feature upon purchase. This will include them into a second drawing immediately after the Powerball drawing using their same Powerball numbers! Total ticket cost is the total amount wagered multiplied by the number of drawings selected.

Power Play is not available during the Double Play drawing. Double Play is currently not available for purchase online through the Kentucky Lottery's website.
