Maryland Powerball – Powerball Maryland
The Maryland Lottery is 1 of 47 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the Powerball game – in this case the Maryland Powerball – as part of its overall portfolio of lottery games.
Powerball is a Multi-State USA Lottery that is run & syndicated across the USA by the MUSL – Multi State Lottery Association – and is one of the largest lottery games in the world having produced a record jackpot of an incredible US$ 1.586 BILLION in January 2016. This is the largest lottery jackpot ever won to date in the history of jackpot lottery games having smashed the existing Mega Millions record of the time of US$ 656 MILLION.
The very first Powerball draw took place on April 22nd 1992 with 16 USA Lottery companies – who were all members of the MUSL – taking part after the game changed its format and name from Lotto America which had originally started on February 13th 1988.
MD Powerball operations first began on January 31st 2010 when the Mega Millions consortium – of which the MD Lottery is a member – entered into a cross-selling agreement with the MUSL – allowing the sales of Powerball tickets in Mega Millions states and Mega Millions tickets in Powerball states.
MD Powerball – How it Works
The Maryland 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 – rising in size every time by at least US$ 10 Million – creating some massive jackpot figures.
6 numbers are drawn in total for the MD Powerball game from 2 separate lottery drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers are drawn from 59 white balls are followed by 1 number (the Powerball) from 35 red balls.
Draws for the MD Powerball take place twice every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10.59pm EST.
There is also a Powerball prize multiplier facility available when playing that dramatically increases the size of a Powerball win and is called Powerball POWERPLAY.
POWERPLAY
The Powerball POWERPLAY option is a fixed prize multiplier and will automatically increase the Powerball win to at least double the original amount – and is there to give players of the MD Powerball a chance to increase their winnings on all levels of the prize structure apart from the Maryland Powerball jackpot itself.
With the Powerball POWER PLAY option – you are easily able to multiply your winnings on these levels by 2x, 3x or 4x – greatly increasing the amount you will walk away with.
A Powerball non-jackpot 2nd prize of US$ 1 Million, for example, will be immediately doubled to US$ 2 Million when playing the Maryland Powerball using this Powerball POWERPLAY facility.

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 Maryland Lottery Powerball – you have a great chance of winning a prize.
