US Powerball Power Play
Power Play is the US Powerball multiplier. In the American game it multiplies non-jackpot prizes by a number drawn for that night. When you bet on US Powerball, you can choose to factor Power Play into your bet — here is how it works.
How Power Play works
For each US Powerball draw, a Power Play multiplier is drawn alongside the numbers. In the American game it multiplies the value of non-jackpot prize tiers by that multiplier. When you add Power Play to your bet, the way your win is calculated follows the same multiplier, so a winning non-jackpot bet can pay more. It is an optional extra on top of your main bet, and the terms are shown before you confirm. See the US Powerball guide for the full picture, or odds and payouts for how markets are priced.
