How to Play

Drawings are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays in Tallahassee, Florida. Buy your ticket by 9 p.m. on the day of the drawing. Tickets purchased after 9 p.m. on drawing nights will be valid for the next drawing(s).

1. Choose one of the three following options to play Powerball:

• On a Powerball playslip, mark five numbers from 1 through 59 and one number from 1 through 35, using black or blue ink only. You can play up to 5 different sets of numbers on each playslip (A - E). Each Powerball play costs $2.

• Mark the Quick Pick (QP) box to have your Powerball numbers randomly generated for you on each board (A-E). A Powerball playslip lets you choose Quick Pick for the first set of numbers, the Powerball number or both sets of numbers.

• Ask the retailer for Quick Pick for your Powerball numbers -- up to 10 plays on one ticket.

2.  You may play the same sets of numbers for 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, or 20 consecutive drawings by marking the appropriate MULTIDRAW box. Or, when purchasing a Powerball Quick Pick, ask the retailer for the number of drawings you want to play, up to 20 drawings.

3.  Add Power Play^®! For an extra $1 per board per draw, mark the POWER PLAY box to increase any nonjackpot winnings to a set amount, up to $2 million! Or, ask the retailer for Power Play when purchasing a Quick Pick ticket. (See below for Power Play replacement prizes.)

Check your playslip carefully. Powerball tickets cannot be canceled.

* Pari-Mutuel Jackpot Prize is divided equally among multiple winners. The advertised Jackpot Prize represents an estimate of the annuity amount which would be paid in 30 graduated installments. Winners also have the option to take a one-time lump sum payment equal to the cash value of the jackpot prize pool. In accordance with game rules, all set prizes and Power Play prizes may become pari-mutuel if claims exceed available prize funds. Power Play does not apply to the Jackpot Prize.
