Some lottery retailers will have a container full of blank play slips that you can pull a slip from.

Make sure you fill in the square completely. Don’t use a pen or the machine may not be able to read the slip. You can request a pencil from the clerk to use to fill out your play slip.

Power Play doesn’t increase your chances at winning, but it can multiply the amount that you receive if you do win. The Power Play feature costs an extra $1.

The annual payment option means you’ll be paid in 30 annual installments if you win the grand prize. The cash value option means that you’ll receive a single payment of the net value of the grand prize. The total amount will be less than advertised jackpot amount because that amount is based on what 30 annual payments would equate to.

The play slip isn’t your Powerball ticket. It’s just a way for you to pick your own numbers.
