Ticket costs
In New Jersey, the cost of a Powerball ticket is typically $2 per play. With each play, you select five numbers from a set of 1 to 69, plus one Powerball number from a set of 1 to 26.
Always verify with the official New Jersey Lottery website or authorized retailers for the most current pricing information and any available options.
Zero prize amounts
In the Powerball game in New Jersey, if you match some of the winning numbers 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: 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: 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 New Jersey Powerball game, 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 game in New Jersey offers the Power Play option, which acts as a multiplier for non-jackpot prizes. When you purchase a Powerball ticket with the Power Play option for an additional $1 per play, any non-jackpot prizes you win will be multiplied by a randomly drawn multiplier, which can be 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x.
For example, if you win a $100 prize and the Power Play multiplier drawn for that drawing is 3x, your prize would be multiplied to $300.
It’s important to note that the Power Play option applies only to non-jackpot prizes and does not affect the jackpot prize amount. Additionally, the Power Play option must be selected at the time of ticket purchase and cannot be added after the ticket has been printed.
For the most current information on the availability of the Power Play option in New Jersey Powerball and the associated prize multipliers, it’s recommended to check with the official New Jersey Lottery website or authorized retailers.
Bonus/extra draws
As of my last update, the New Jersey Powerball game typically doesn’t offer bonus or extra draws beyond the standard twice-weekly drawings. Powerball drawings usually occur on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
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.
