With PowerPlay in the Powerball lottery, you can increase your non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 10 times, depending on the multiplier drawn for that play. The 10x multiplier is only available when the advertised jackpot is $150 million or less. For example, if you win a $100 prize and the PowerPlay multiplier is 5, your prize would jump to $500. However, the Match 5 prize (winning $1 million without the multiplier) only doubles to $2 million regardless of the selected multiplier.
