In Powerball Texas, Power Play is an optional feature that players can add to their ticket for an additional cost. When you win a prize (except the jackpot), Power Play multiplies that prize amount. The multiplier number is randomly selected before each drawing, offering a chance to increase your winnings by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or even 10x for prizes of $150,000 or less. However, the Match 5 prize with Power Play is always $2 million, regardless of the multiplier chosen.
