When you play Powerball, you’ll hope for the jackpot. But you could become a big winner of a non-jackpot win and still come out on top.
Did you know you know there are not one, not two, but NINE ways to win at Powerball? Plus, there are additional opportunities to double or quadruple your winnings! There are non-jackpot wins that could be just as life-changing. So before you concede that the Powerball odds are not in your favor, read on and discover just how tangible your Powerball wins can be.
Those big multi-million dollar winners make the news headlines, but there are thousands of winners reaping thousand$ of rewards each game who may fly under the radar, but they are celebrating just as excitedly when they claim their prizes.
Along with winning the jackpot- which, let's be honest, we all hope to! There are many other methods of winning with significantly greater odds (how does 1 in 25 sound?)
Hang on- we're not done yet. Let's give you the secret sauce to getting double the odds and double the money!
Firstly, Power Play boosts your winnings by up to 5x! If you select "Power Play" at your ticket purchase and are lucky enough to win any of the non-jackpot prizes and get the Power Play bonus, you will receive double winnings on the five white number match (that's 2 million dollars if you're counting,) or 2X-5X your winnings on all the other prizes.
Second, and this one's a big one, Double Play added to your Powerball ticket for just one additional dollar gives you a chance to win in the double play drawings that happen after each Powerball drawing. You'll also gain a $10 million grand prize opportunity. If you're wondering how feasible this is, just this year, a Kentucky resident won with Double Play and took home the $10 million top prize! He had only been adding the Double Play feature to all his tickets for four months- now that's some worthwhile payout.
What's more, after the Double Play inception three years ago, it only took two months for a Maryland resident to win the coveted $10 million grand prize, too! And there have been two more winners between these two. So this is a great, affordable option to tack on to your ticket purchases.
Let's not discount that while the jackpot may feel evasive, it is tangible. The most recent Georgian winners received a whopping $478.2 million! And that's being shared between just two people. Happy holidays to them, indeed.
So when you purchase your next Powerball tickets, consider adding the Power Play or Double Play feature and up those odds of being one of the many, many winners this week!
