Powerball offers 10X multiplier this month
Powerball offers 10X multiplier this monthPosted: 4/2/2007 5:40:03 PM  Powerball players who purchase the Power Play feature will have a chance to multiply their prizes by 10 during the "Power Play 10X" promotion running in April. During the month of April, that means a $200,000 second-prize winning ticket could multiply into $2 million — if the player purchased Power Play for the winning ticket. For an additional $1, Power Play normally gives Powerball players the opportunity to multiply their non-jackpot prizes two, three, four or five times. A Power Play wheel, spun just before the Powerball drawing, determines the multiplier for the night. During the Power Play 10X promotion, one of the "five" slots will be replaced by a "10." If the 10 comes up on the wheel, non-jackpot prizes for that drawing will be multiplied 10X for players who purchased the Power Play feature. The Power Play 10X promotion begins with the Wednesday, April 4, Powerball drawing and runs through Saturday, April 28. If the 10X multiplier is not selected during that time, the promotion will continue until it is hit. The Power Play 10X promotion is offered in every state Powerball tickets are sold. Players must request the extra $1.00 Power Play option be added to their Powerball ticket when purchasing their lottery ticket.

This is a splendid promotional idea! Nevertheless, I think the 10x feature should be on-going, every month. With this feature, perhaps more players would be willing to take the plunge by sinking that extra dollar toward POWERBALL. Finally, the powers-that-be might come to the conclusion the players want a chance to win, and they will give them the chance. People who are only reluctant to play when the POWERBALL is $100 million or more -- might avail themselves with this prospective monthly 10x feature.  -- Bye, bye! When you win, may you glow as brightly as the

Makes the incentive to power up better with the jackpot reset. You have a good payout if ya hit the grandprize as you do being 2nd tier winner. My small office pool is powering up dispite our bad streak lately of not hitting or breaking even. Maybe this will be our payback multiplied by ten! Good luck and good pays to all players! kindness is a small gesture accepted by another

Maybe this is the month to step up our play a bit. You think they'd make the 10X permanent if it resulted in increased sales this month? I just won $100 in a sweeps, maybe I'll use that to buy PB's with the PP this month.
