MIDDLETOWN, Pa. , Oct. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Lottery's new Powerball® promotion launched today: when players purchase an individual Powerball with Power Play® ticket for $3 , a free ticket of equal value will be awarded at random.

The offer is valid through October 31 or while supplies last.

To play Powerball, players pay $2 and select five numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls, then select one number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball. Players can also use Quick Pick to let the computer pick their numbers.

Adding the $1 Power Play option to a ticket allows a winner to increase lower-tier prizes by a factor of 2, 3, 4 or 5, depending on the Power Play number drawn. A 10X multiplier is available whenever the jackpot is $150 million or less. The jackpot and the Match 5 prize are not multiplied by this number. The Match 5 prize with the Power Play option is set at $2 million .

Visit palottery.com to learn more about how to play Powerball and the Power Play option.

Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington D.C. , Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands . Drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET .
