Ticket costs
In New Jersey, the Double Play option for Powerball is an additional feature that allows players to enter a separate drawing with their Powerball numbers for a chance to win additional prizes. The cost of adding the Double Play option to a Powerball ticket is typically $1 per play.
With the Double Play option, players use the same set of numbers they selected for the main Powerball drawing. If any of their numbers match the winning numbers in the Double Play drawing, they can win additional prizes.
Always verify with the official New Jersey Lottery website or authorized retailers for the most current pricing information and any available options regarding the Double Play feature.
Zero prize amounts
In the Powerball Double Play feature in New Jersey, if you match some of the winning numbers in the Double Play drawing and one or more of the numbers is 0, the prize amounts can vary based on the specific numbers matched and the overall distribution of winners.
Here’s a general overview of how zero prize amounts might work:
- Matching the Powerball (0) only in the Double Play drawing: Typically results in a small prize, often a free ticket for the next drawing or a small cash amount.
- Matching other numbers with a 0 in the winning combination in the Double Play drawing: The prize amounts for these matches can vary depending on the specific numbers matched, the total number of winners, and other factors.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information on prize amounts in the Powerball Double Play feature in New Jersey, it’s best to check with the official New Jersey Lottery website or authorized retailers. They will have the latest information on prize amounts for each drawing, including any adjustments due to the presence of zeros in the winning combination.
Multipliers
As of my last update, the Powerball Double Play feature in New Jersey does not offer a multiplier option like the main Powerball game with the Power Play option. When you play Powerball with the Double Play feature, there is no option to multiply non-jackpot prizes.
However, lottery games and their features can change over time, so it’s always a good idea to check with the official New Jersey Lottery website or authorized retailers for the most current information on game options and any potential updates to the rules or features.
Bonus/extra draws
As of my last update, the New Jersey Powerball Double Play feature typically doesn’t offer bonus or extra draws beyond the standard Powerball drawings. The Double Play drawing occurs immediately following the main Powerball drawing, and there are no additional draws associated specifically with the Double Play feature.
However, it’s always a good idea to check the official New Jersey Lottery website or authorized retailers for the most current information regarding any bonus draws or additional features that may have been introduced since my last update.
