Rule 30-913 - DESCRIPTION OF THE POWERBALL®DOUBLE PLAY®PROMOTION AND PRIZE PAYMENT

913.1

The Powerball Double Play Promotion ("Double Play") is an add-on extension of the Powerball game and is conducted in accordance with the Powerball game rules and other lottery rules applicable to the Powerball game except as may be amended herein. The Executive Director shall determine the starting and ending dates of Double Play.

913.2

Double Play offers players a second chance to win a new set of prizes, using the same numbers the player selected (manually or by computer pick) for their Powerball play. The Double Play drawing is a separate drawing which takes place after the official Powerball drawing. Powerball winning numbers shall not be used to determine Double Play prizes. Double Play winning numbers shall not be used to determine Powerball prizes.

913.3

Double Play does not replace or alter Power Play. Power Play is not available with the Double Play Promotion. Double Play prizes will not be multiplied or increased by the Power Play Promotion.

913.4

Powerball prizes and Double Play prizes are determined separately; for example, a Powerball player who chooses to participate in Double Play may win both a Double Play prize and a Powerball Prize, if their play numbers match the Powerball winning numbers and also the Double Play winning numbers.

913.5

To play Double Play, players must purchase an official Powerball ticket. For an additional one dollar ($1.00) players may purchase a Double Play play at the same time the Powerball ticket is purchased. Double Play numbers shall be the same as the numbers the player selected (manually or computer pick) for their Powerball Play. The purchase must be recorded on the Agency's central computer as a qualifying play. If the Double Play option is purchased as a ticketless transaction, the Agency's electronic record of purchase shall be the only valid proof of the wager placed and the only valid receipt for claiming or redeeming such prize.

913.6

During the Double Play drawing, five (5) numbers shall be drawn from the first set of sixty-nine (69) numbers, and one (1) number shall be drawn from the second set of twenty-six (26) numbers, which together shall constitute the Double Play winning numbers.
