orangeSelect Wild Ball in any or all of the boards played.

Wild Ball is an option that replaces any of the winning Pick 4 numbers with the Wild Ball number to create more winning combinations and more ways to win. The Wild Ball is drawn immediately following each Pick 4 drawing. Players can even win multiple Wild Ball prizes on the same play!

Example: You select 1-1-1-2 as your Pick 4 numbers, choosing Box as the play type for $1 and adding the Wild Ball option. The winning Pick 4 numbers drawn are 1-1-1-1 and the Wild Ball is 2.The Wild Ball, 2, will replace any of the lottery-drawn numbers creating three new winning combinations — in this case, 2-1-1-1, 1-2-1-1, 1-1-2-1 and 1-1-1-2  — for FOUR Wild Ball Box prizes of $380 each for a total Wild Ball win of $1,520 ($380 x 3).

Liability Limits

Two Missouri Lottery games - Pick 3 and Pick 4 - have liability limits, meaning players may be denied the purchase of numbers when a certain number of tickets with a particular combination have been sold. Liability limits have been placed on these games to keep the Lottery from selling more winning tickets than it can pay. The liability limit is $2 million for Pick 3 and $2 million for Pick 4. Setting liability limits is standard in the Lottery industry on games with fixed payouts.

On rare occasions, popular Pick 3 and Pick 4 numbers may "sell out" and cannot be purchased. Liability limits are reached when a large number of people have chosen a certain number combination, such as the Pick 4 combination 2-0-0-0, which was popular on Jan. 1, 2000, to mark the new millennium.

There is no need for liability limits on Lotto and Powerball numbers, since jackpots are pari-mutuel, meaning the jackpot prize is divided equally among all its winners.

The Missouri Lottery has an obligation to raise as much money for public education programs, while also ensuring that we have funds available to pay winners. To accomplish this, we must be able to limit our potential payout to an amount that we expect to reasonably pay based on the sales we generate for this game.

image-20220520093556-2Then, choose the Powerball number from 1 to 26.

Options

image-20220520093725-1Quick Pick: Use Quick Pick ("QP") to allow the computer to choose your numbers randomly.

image-20220520093739-2Multi-Draw: Play the same numbers for up to 15 consecutive drawings by selecting "MULTI-DRAW." Powerball can be played for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12 or 15 consecutive drawings.

image-20220520093749-3Power Play®: Power Play is a multiplier feature that allows a winner to increase their original prize amount by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 TIMES! If you choose the Power Play option and win anywhere from $4 to $50,000, your winnings will be multiplied by 2 to 10* times, depending on the multiplier number drawn at the beginning of each Powerball drawing! Power Play does not apply to jackpot prize winnings. Matching five of five white-ball numbers and not the Powerball will automatically award a $2 million prize when Power Play is chosen! Power Play costs an additional $1 per play and can be chosen by marking “POWER PLAY –YES” on the Powerball playslip or asking the retailer to enter it through the terminal.

*The 10X multiplier is available only on jackpots of $150 million or less.

Redeeming Prizes

Powerball players must redeem their prizes in the same state they bought the tickets. Because there are 48 lotteries participating in Powerball, all tickets and playslips are identified by the lottery that sold the ticket so the prize can be claimed and paid properly. If your ticket is a winner and was purchased in Missouri, click here to find out how to claim your prize.

Lump sum payment (cash) or jackpot payments (annuity)

Jackpot winners have 60 days from the claiming date to choose cash or 30 graduated annuity payments (payments that increase each year). If you do not choose an option after 60 days, payment automatically defaults to the graduated annuity option. The cash option prize is approximately half of the advertised jackpot. If you choose the cash option, you get the cash the Lottery would have invested over the 29-year period to pay the advertised prize amount.

Understanding your chances of winning

No matter how many people play Powerball, the chances of winning never change. The chances of winning are based on the amount of number combinations, not the number of players. Here's how your chances of winning the Powerball jackpot are determined.
