What Does US Powerball Have That Other Lotteries Don’t?

The US Powerball lottery is a juggernaut when it comes to jackpots. With a minimum Powerball prize of $USD25 million, it’s no wonder that players worldwide are so keen to buy tickets.

WHY IS THE US POWERBALL SO POPULAR?

The US Powerball is so popular because it offers players the chance to win life-changing sums of money. The minimum jackpot is a staggering AUD$30 million, often exceeding hundreds of millions, and sometimes even billions.

WHAT DOES THE US POWERBALL HAVE THAT OTHER LOTTERIES DON’T?

One key contributor that sets the US Powerball apart from other lotteries is the Power Play Feature. For an additional fee per play, the Power Play® feature can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times.

Before each drawing, the multiplier number is selected at random.

The 10x multiplier is not always available; when the advertised jackpot prize is over USD$150 million, only the 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x multipliers will be in play.

Regardless of the multiplier number selected, the match 5 prize will always be USD$2 million when purchasing the Power Play option.

Being a Powerball Lottery, the US Powerball also has the addition of a Powerball number. The Powerball is drawn from a separate barrel of numbers to the main game and gives you an extra chance to win big!

HOW TO PLAY | HOW MANY NUMBERS IN POWERBALL?

US Powerball players select five numbers from a pool of 1 to 69. They must also choose one number from a pool of 1 to 26, being the Powerball number.

Players can select their own numbers or choose ‘Quick Play’ to have numbers randomly chosen.
