Powerball® will hold its first Monday drawing on August 23rd, 2021 at 10:59 p.m. ET from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee, Florida. This will increase the number of Powerball drawings from two to three nights a week: Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets purchased after the Saturday drawing sales cut-off time and before the Monday drawing sales cut-off time, will be entered in the Monday drawing.
Adding a third draw night will add more excitement to the game with less time between drawings, helping keep momentum between jackpots, and increase the number of cash prizes and jackpots awarded on an annual basis.
No. Players will continue to choose five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26.
No. Players will still have the same odds of winning a prize, because the two pools of numbers from which the winning numbers are drawn will remain the same (5/69 + 1/26).
Ticket sales for Monday drawings will be no different than sales for the current game drawings. Hoosier Lottery players must purchase tickets by 9:58 PM ET.
Players can watch the Powerball and Double Play drawings live on HoosierLottery.com, or watch Powerball drawings on their local draw station.
If you miss the live drawing, check your numbers on the free Hoosier Lottery app, at a retailer, or on HoosierLottery.com.
Double Play is a new add-on game to the Powerball game. For an additional $1 per play, players will have an additional chance to match their numbers to the Double Play numbers for a chance to prizes up to $10,000,000 cash. Double Play is similar to our Hoosier Lotto +PLUS add-on and is a second chance for players to win with their numbers.
The Double Play drawing will be held after every Powerball drawing on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
The first Double Play drawing will be held on Monday, August 23rd after the Powerball drawing.
Yes. Draw closure for Powerball and Double Play is no later than 10 pm ET.
The Double Play drawing will be held between 11:25 – 11:35 pm ET.
A small break between the Powerball and Double Play drawings will help differentiate the two drawings.
The schedule is as follows:
Powerball – 10:59 pm ET
Double Play – 11:25 – 11:35 pm ET (estimated)
Powerball drawn numbers will continue to be posted around 11:09 pm ET

No, Power Play® is not impacted by any of the changes. The Power Play® add-on feature will only apply to non-jackpot prizes won in the Powerball drawing.
Power Play multiplies non-jackpot prizes. By adding Power Play for $1 per ticket, a multiplier of 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X (or 10X when the jackpot is $150 million or less) is randomly selected on your ticket.
Double Play is an additional drawing following the Powerball drawing. Players will have an additional chance to match their numbers to the Double Play numbers for a chance to win a top cash prize of $10,000,000 or other prizes.
Yes, a Powerball ticket can include both add-on features for a total price of $4 per play. Players may also elect to purchase one or none of the add-on features:

The first drum of balls from which the first five numbers are drawn will be black. The second drum of balls from which the Double Play Powerball is drawn will be red.
The Double Play drawing will have the same odds as the Powerball drawing since the two pools of numbers from which the winning numbers are drawn are the same (5/69 + 1/26).
