The Power Play option is a feature that can be added to a Powerball ticket to multiply the value of non-jackpot prizes. The Power Play multiplier number is picked at random before each draw, and it can provide 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x the value of non-jackpot prizes, although the 10x multiplier is only available when the jackpot is worth less than $150 million. The Power Play option costs an additional $1 per play, and it can double the $1 million 2nd prize, and it can boost the others to some mouth-watering amounts. The second-tier prize will always be $2 million if the Power Play feature is purchased, regardless of the multiplier drawn. The Power Play option does not apply to the Powerball jackpot, but it can increase all the other prize categories in the game.
