Power Play and Double Play are add-on features to the Powerball game that give players additional chances to win prizes. Here are the key differences between the two:
Power Play:
- Power Play is an add-on feature that multiplies non-jackpot prizes won in the Powerball drawing.
- The Power Play multiplier is randomly selected on the ticket and can be 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X (when the jackpot is $150 million or less) .
- Power Play tickets are eligible to win prizes in both the Powerball and Power Play drawings.
Double Play:
- Double Play is a new add-on game to the Powerball game that gives players an additional chance to match their numbers to the Double Play numbers for a chance to win prizes up to $10,000,000 cash.
- Players play the same set of numbers in the main Powerball drawing and Double Play drawing.
- Double Play has a separate drawing that takes place after the official Powerball drawing.
- Double Play tickets are eligible to win prizes in both the Powerball and Double Play drawings.
In summary, Power Play multiplies non-jackpot prizes in the Powerball drawing, while Double Play gives players an additional chance to win prizes in a separate drawing using the same set of numbers as the Powerball drawing.
