Completing a Playslip

• If you have a favorite set of numbers, complete a POWERBALL play slip and give it to your Lotto retailer.
• Use a pen or pencil in any color other than red.
• Select five numbers from 1 through 55 on the top panel of the play slip. Select one number from 1 through 42—the Powerball—on the bottom panel.
• Mark QUICK PICK if you want the computer to randomly pick some or all of the numbers for you. (SAVE TIME: If you want only QUICK PICK numbers, simply tell the clerk. You won't have to completea play slip!)
• You can purchase one, two, three, four, or five plays on a play slip. Each play is $1.
• You can play the same set of numbers for up to 24 consecutive draws. If you want more than one draw, mark the number of draws you want in the DRAWS section of the play slip.
• If you want to play POWER PLAY with POWERBALL for an additional $1 per play, you must select it on the POWER PLAY section of your play slip or tell the clerk before you buy your POWERBALL ticket. If you're purchasing more than one POWERBALL play and select the POWER PLAY option, that option will apply to all of your plays.

Reading your ticket

• Look for the dollar amount you're playing on the ticket across from the word POWERBALL.
• Your numbers appear below your ticket sales amount—the five white numbers printed in a row, followed by the specially–labeled Powerball number.
