Think BIG Florida!

America’s game is now available in Florida! With jackpots starting at $20 million and increasing with each rollover, POWERBALL® offers players the chance to win BIG for just $1 per play. And, for an additional $1, players can multiply their non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four or five times with Power Play®! So remember Florida, you have to THINK BIG TO WIN BIG!

To play, pick up a POWERBALL playslip at an authorized Florida Lottery retailer. To find a retailer near you, click here. Each playslip contains five panels (A-E), allowing you to play up to five plays (one play per panel). In each panel:

2.Select your Powerball number from 1 through 39 in the lower play area, or mark the QP (Quick Pick) box for the terminal to randomly select your Powerball number.

3.To multiply your winnings on non-jackpot prizes, select the Power Play box. Power Play costs $1 more per play. Please Note: The Power Play box applies to all panels and Quick Picks played on the playslip.

4.To play the same numbers for more than one draw, select the number of draws you want to play in the Advance Play section of your playslip or tell the retailer how many advance draws you wish to play. For more information on Advance Play, please click here.

5.Review your selections carefully. POWERBALL tickets cannot be cancelled.

6.Give your completed playslip and payment to the retailer ($1 per play for POWERBALL, or $2 per play for POWERBALL with Power Play). You will receive a ticket printed with your numbers, draw date(s), and indicating whether your ticket is a Power Play.

7.Check the official drawing results to see if you're a winner! Draw results are available on this Web site, at authorized Florida Lottery retailers and at (850) 921-PLAY (7529). To watch the drawings, click here.

Drawings are held Wednesday and Saturday nights at 10:59 p.m., Eastern Time. Tickets may be purchased until 10:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the night of the drawing. Tickets purchased after that time will be for the next drawing.

If you claim a prize on a winning Advance Play ticket before all of the draws on the ticket have occurred, you will be issued a continuation ticket for the remaining draws with the same play numbers as the original ticket.

Please remember: All prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the applicable draw date.

Power Play

Power Play is a special feature that allows players to multiply their non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four or five times the original prize amount! A player must choose the Power Play option on his/her POWERBALL playslip or tell the retailer that he/she wishes to purchase a Power Play ticket. POWERBALL with Power Play tickets cost an additional $1 per play.

The Power Play multiplier number is selected at random, from 2 through 5, before each drawing. If a player matches 5-of-5 winning numbers (“match 5”), the player wins $1 million (the match 5 prize multiplied by 5). If he/she matches any of the other non-jackpot winning number combinations, the player wins an amount equal to the original prize amount multiplied by the multiplier that was randomly selected at the start of the drawing.

Match 5 Bonus

Whenever the POWERBALL jackpot reaches a new record level, the amount of the jackpot prize will increase by up to $25 million per draw. The jackpot prize allocation in excess of what is required to fund the $25 million annuitized increase will be placed into a Match 5 Bonus prize pool and will accumulate until there is a jackpot winner. When the jackpot is won, the Match 5 Bonus prize pool will be divided equally among all match 5 winners for that draw. The Match 5 Bonus prize is in addition to any Power Play prizes won. POWERBALL match 5 winners will win $200,000 plus their share of the Match 5 Bonus prize. POWERBALL with Power Play match 5 winners will win $1 million (the match 5 prize multiplied by 5) plus their share of the Match 5 Bonus prize.

If there are no match 5 winners in a drawing when the new high jackpot is won, the Match 5 Bonus prize pool will be shared equally by the winners of the next prize level (4-of-5 plus Powerball).

*The 5-of-5 prize is $1,000,000 cash. All other non-jackpot prizes will be multiplied by the Power Play multiplier number, from 2 through 5, selected at draw time.

All non-jackpot prizes are set payouts. If funds are insufficient to pay set prizes, non-jackpot prizes may be paid on a pari-mutuel basis and could be lower than the amounts shown.

HOW TO WIN

The Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) will hold official POWERBALL ® drawings in which five out of 59 numbers (white balls) and a Powerball number between 1 and 39 (red ball) will be drawn at random. There are nine ways to win POWERBALL prizes by matching the winning numbers drawn in the official drawing for the date played. Match all five numbers plus the Powerball to win the jackpot or match any of the non-jackpot-winning combinations to win other great cash prizes!

All POWERBALL prizes are set payouts, except the jackpot. The jackpot prize will be shared among winners in all POWERBALL states. The jackpot will be paid in 30 annual payments or a one-time cash payment of a reduced amount. If there is no jackpot winner, the money in the jackpot pool rolls over to the next POWERBALL drawing.

All POWERBALL prizes must be claimed in the state where the ticket was purchased. POWERBALL prizes must be claimed within 180 days after the winning draw date. Federal income taxes will be withheld from POWERBALL prizes as required by the Internal Revenue Code at the time payments are made. Any additional federal, state and/or local taxes shall be the responsibility of the winner. Prizes of up to $1 million may be claimed at a Florida Lottery district office. Prizes of more than $1 million must be claimed at Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee. For information on claiming prizes, click here.
