D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 30, r. 30-909
Provided the prize pools are fully funded, the set prize payments for POWERBALL® based on a two dollar ($ 2) bet are as follows:
| Number of Matches Per Play | |
| All five (5) of first set plus one (1) of second set. | Grand Prize |
| All five (5) of the first set and none of the second set | $1,000,000.00 |
| Any four (4) of the first set plus one (1) of the second set | $50,000.00 |
| Any four (4) of the first set and none of the second set | $ 100.00 |
| Any three (3) of the first set plus one (1) of the second set | $ 100.00 |
| Any three (3) of the first set and none of the second set | $ 7.00 |
| Any two (2) of the first set plus one (1) of the second set | $ 7.00 |
| Any one (1) of the first set plus one (1) of the second set | $ 4.00 |
| None of the first set plus one (1) of the second set | $ 4.00 |
If the prize pools are not fully funded and there are not sufficient funds in the prize pool to pay Powerball Set Prizes, the prizes shall be paid pursuant to § 909.3, including payment on a pari-mutuel basis if required.
The Powerball Set Prize (for single payment prizes of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) or less) shall be carried forward to subsequent draws if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the Powerball Set Prizes awarded in the current draw. If the total of the Powerball Set Prizes (as multiplied by the respective Power Play multiplier if applicable) awarded in a drawing exceeds the percentage of the prize pool allocated to the Powerball Set Prizes, then the amount needed to fund the Powerball Set Prizes, including Power Play prizes, awarded shall be drawn from the following sources, in the following order:
If, after these sources are depleted, there are not sufficient funds to pay the Set Prizes awarded, including Power Play prizes, then the highest Set Prize shall become a pari-mutuel prize. If the amount of the highest Set Prize, when paid on a pari-mutuel basis, drops to or below the next highest Set Prize and there are still not sufficient funds to pay the remaining Set Prizes awarded, then the next highest Set Prize, including Power Play prizes, shall become a pari-mutuel prize. This procedure shall continue down through all Set Prize levels, if necessary, until all Set Prize levels become pari-mutuel prize levels. In that instance, the money available from the funding sources listed in this rule shall be divided among the winning plays in proportion to their respective prize percentages. Powerball Set Prizes and Power Play prizes will be reduced by the same percentage.
By agreement with the Licensee Lotteries, the Licensee Lotteries shall independently calculate their Set Prize pari-mutuel prize amounts including Power Play prizes. The Party Lotteries and the Licensee Lotteries shall then agree to set the pari-mutuel prize amounts for all lotteries selling the game at the lesser of the independently-calculated prize amounts.
