Power Play increases non-jackpot prizes only. Note that any set prizes or Power Play prizes, including the Match 5+0 prizes, may be reduced if wins exceed the available prize fund. For a current estimate on the cash amount for Powerball, Mega Millions®, and Lotto, contact the Illinois Lottery.

Power Play is a special feature that can increase the value of prize levels 3 through 9 by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times if a player purchases the Power Play feature. The Power Play number will be randomly drawn at the time of the Powerball drawing. The 10x multiplier is available on initially advertised jackpots of $150 million or less.  The Match 5+0 prize doubles to $2,000,000 with Power Play!
