Short answer: Powerball Double Play is an add-on feature that gives eligible players another chance to use the same Powerball numbers in a separate drawing. It costs extra where available and has its own prize structure, including a top cash prize listed by Powerball as $10 million.
How Double Play works
When Double Play is available in your jurisdiction, you can add it to a Powerball ticket. The same five white-ball numbers and red Powerball number are used again in a separate Double Play drawing held after the regular Powerball drawing.
How it differs from Power Play
Double Play is not the same thing as Power Play. Power Play multiplies eligible non-jackpot prizes in the main Powerball drawing. Double Play creates a separate second drawing with separate prizes.
When to check Double Play results
Check the regular Powerball result first, then check Double Play results if your ticket included the add-on. For current draw information, start with the PWN results hub and confirm final details with official Powerball or your state lottery.
