Powerplay does not work for the 5+1 prize it only works for 5+0 prizes and lower. For matching the 5+0 and a 2 multiplier you would have a $400 thousand prize plus whatever your equal share of the Match 5 Bonus Prize pool would be.-weshar75

Power Play does not apply to the Jackpot Prize or the Match 5 Bonus Prize.
Match 5 Bonus
Whenever the jackpot reaches a new all-time high, its prize pool can grow by no more than $25 million. Any prize money collected in excess of $25 million will fund the Match 5 Bonus prize pool, which will accumulate until there is a jackpot winner. At that time, the Match 5 Bonus will be divided equally and paid in a single cash payment to all match 5 winners during that same drawing. If there are no match 5 winners, the bonus will be paid to all "match 4 + Powerball" winners and so on. The Match 5 Bonus is not multiplied by the Power Play but is paid in addition to any other Powerball or Power Play prize won. Refer to Powerball Game Directive for complete rules.

I think that the powerplay option for match 5 bonus is: A fixed match 5 bonus plus the multiplier of your win. ex. multiplier = 4, match 5 bonus = 1 million. Then, the match 5 bonus winner gets 4*$200,000 + 1million. I think.
