Power Ball Changes - August 28th 2005
Bigger and faster growing jackpots and a chance to win up to $1 million by selecting the Power Play option – Powerball America’s number one lotto game.
The 29 lotteries that operate America’s Game, Powerball, have voted to make changes to the nation’s first big jackpot game to meet player’s demands for larger and faster growing jackpots.
This is the fourth design change for the best-known multi-state game since it was created in 1992.
One of the most exciting changes will be in the amount of the starting jackpot, which will jump from the current $10 million to $15 million! The annuity option will also be changed so that players will receive an annual payment that increases each year. Players can also still elect to receive the jackpot as a lump-sum cash payment.
Another added feature to the game will be to double the second prize for matching five white ball numbers, from $100,000 to $200,000 in cash. With the purchase of the Power Play option, players will have the opportunity to multiply their winnings by five to win $1 million!
Power Play is an option where a player can elect to spend an additional one-dollar per play to multiply their prize by two, three, four or five times. The multiplier number is drawn before the lotto numbers each Wednesday and Saturday.
To increase the average jackpot size, two white ball numbers will be added, changing the jackpot odds to 1 in 146.1 million. The current game has jackpot odds of 1 in 120.5 million. The overall odds of winning a cash prize will remain virtually the same at 1 in 36.60 (up slightly from 1 in 36.06).
The new Power Play will pay out more to the players.
Power Play Wheel Changes:
5X four slots 1:4
4X four slots 1:4
3X four slots 1:4
2X four slots 1:4
Expected payout 49.3%
