Powerball tickets are sold for $2 each but players can add the Power Play for $1 extra for a chance to multiply the non-jackpot prizes.

The winners have up to one year from their winning date to claim the prize, it is also encouraged that the winners write their names on the back of their tickets and store them until they are ready to claim their prize.
