Power Play allows a victor to potentially double, triple, quadruple, or even quintuple the lower-tier prize amounts for just an additional dollar.

And, it turned out, no one hit the second-place prize.
Players should always be sure to check their tickets after each drawing. “While an $800 million jackpot is certainly unprecedented, Power Play gives the opportunity of turning $3 into $2 million or even $200, which is also a pretty neat trick”. For jackpots of $150 million or less, Power Play players could even get a 10x multiplier.
The Powerball game is based on lottery tickets sold for $2 apiece.
Someone who played Powerball this week at a Bethel Park grocery store is holding a ticket worth $1 million. The winning numbers in the drawing were 10-47-50-65-68 PB 24.
With no top prize victor from Wednesday’s drawing, the jackpot continues to roll and is now at $478 million for the Saturday, July 30 drawing. A Kansas victor choosing the cash option would receive a payment of approximately $231.42 million, after taxes.

The winners may claim the tickets at any one of the Lottery’s Customer Service Centers statewide, including the Long Island office at 45 South Service Rd., Plainview, or at Resorts World Casino New York City, 110-00 Rockaway Blvd., Jamaica.
