Powerball offers eight other ways to win based on the number of matched balls in the non-jackpot tiers. The non-jackpot prizes offered range from $4 to $1 million. By paying an additional $1, players can choose to participate in “Powerplay” that increases non-jackpot winnings by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times. According to Powerball, the 10X Powerplay option is exclusively applicable to jackpots worth $150 million or less. Additionally, the game’s “Match 5” prize for the second-tier is limited to a maximum of $2 million if the Powerplay feature is utilized.
An additional add-on feature called “Double Play,” which gives players another chance to match their numbers after each Powerball drawing, is available in some jurisdictions for $1 per play.
With the jackpot on the rise, many are surely eager to try their luck in this Wednesday’s drawing. Check back after 6:00 a.m. EST on Thursday to see if there was a winner in Wednesday’s drawing.
