Rule 30-913 - DESCRIPTION OF THE POWERBALL[R] POWER PLAY PROMOTION AND PRIZE PAYMENT
913.1

The POWERBALL® Power Play Promotion ("Power Play") is a limited extension of the POWERBALL® game and is conducted in accordance with the POWERBALL® game rules and other lottery rules applicable to the POWERBALL® game except as may be amended herein. The Executive Director shall determine the starting and ending dates of Power Play. Power Play will offer to the owners of a qualifying play a chance to multiply the amount of any of the eight (8) lowest Set Prizes (the prizes normally paying four dollars ($ 4.00) to $ one millions ($1,000,000)) won in a drawing held during the promotion. The Grand Prize is not a Set Prize and will not be increased.

913.2

A qualifying play is any single POWERBALL® play for which the player pays an extra dollar for the Power Play option play and which is recorded at the Agency's central computer as a qualifying play.

913.3

Except as provided in these rules, a qualifying play which wins one of seven lowest Set Prizes (excluding the Match 5+0 prize) will be multiplied by the number selected, either two, three, four, five or sometimes ten (2, 3, 4, 5 or sometimes 10), in a separate random Power Play drawing announced during the official Powerball drawing show. The ten (10X) multiplier will be available for drawings in which the initially advertised annuitized Grand Prize amount is one hundred fifty million dollars ($150,000,000.00) or less. The announced Match 5+0 prize, for players selecting the Power Play option, shall be two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) unless a higher limited promotional dollar amount is announced by the Product Group.

913.4

Prize Payments. All Power Play prizes shall be paid in one single payment through the Selling Lottery that sold the winning ticket(s). A Selling Lottery may begin paying Power Play prizes after receiving authorization to pay from the MUSL central office.
