"The Florida Lottery Powerball – Twice a week from the Florida Lottery"
The Florida Lottery is 1 of 47 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the Powerball game – in this case the Florida Powerball – as part of its overall portfolio of lottery games.
Powerball is a Multi-State USA Lottery game that is run by the MUSL – Multi State Lottery Association and is one of the largest lottery games in the world – having produced the biggest ever jackpot the world has seen on January 13th 2016 with an outstanding US$ 1.586 BILLION – more than doubling the existing record Mega Millions jackpot.
The first Powerball lottery draw took place on April 22nd 1992 with 16 USA Lottery companies – who were all members of the MUSL – taking part when the game changed its format and name from Lotto America which started on February 13th 1988.
Tickets for the Florida Lottery Powerball were first sold back on January 4th 2009 when the Florida Lottery became the 32nd member of the MUSL (Multi State Lottery Association) who syndicate it across the U.S.A.
The Florida Lottery Powerball works in the same way as the Powerball game works in all the States and Districts in the US that offer the game.
Jackpots start off at US$ 40 Million and rollover after each draw when the top prize is not won – increasing in size by a minimum of US$ 10 Million each time – making for some huge jackpot figures.
6 numbers are drawn in total for the Florida Power Ball game from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers are drawn from 69 white balls and then 1 extra number (the Powerball) is drawn from 26 red balls.
Draws for the Florida Powerball Lottery take place twice every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10.59pm EST.
There is also a Powerball prize multiplier option available when playing which dramatically increases the size of a Powerball win and is called Powerball POWERPLAY...
POWERPLAY…
The Powerball POWERPLAY option is a prize multiplier and will automatically increase the Powerball win by up to 10 times the original amount – and is there to give players of the Florida Powerball a chance to increase their winnings on all levels of the prize structure apart from the FLA Powerball jackpot itself.
With Powerball POWER PLAY – you are quite easily able to multiply your winnings on these levels by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and whilst the jackpot is under US$ 150 Million – even 10x – greatly increasing the amount you can take home with you.
The Powerball 2nd prize of US$ 1 Million will be automatically doubled to US$ 2 Million when playing using this Powerball POWERPLAY facility no matter what Powerplay number is drawn.
The aim when playing is to correctly select as many Powerball winning numbers as possible – and with 9 different ways in which you can win on the Florida Lottery Powerball – you have a great chance of winning a prize.
There are generally 4 ways you can play the Florida Powerball…
1. Pick 5 of your own main (white ball) numbers from 1 to 69 plus your 1 Power Ball (red ball) number from 1 to 26.
2. Pick 5 of your own main (white ball) numbers from 1 to 69 and use the Quick Pick option to let the computer choose your Power Ball (red ball) number for you from 1 to 26 – using a computer powered random number generator.
3. Use the Quick Pick option to let the computer pick your 5 main (white ball) numbers from 1 to 69 for you using a random number generator – and then select your own Power Ball (red ball) number from 1 to 26.
