Get ready for Powerball Double Play

Powerball players in North Carolina have double the reasons to play Powerball now with the introduction of Powerball Double Play.

Double Play is an exciting new feature that gives you a second chance to win cash prizes of up to $10 million. That means you can win prizes in both the regular Powerball drawing and the Double Play drawing, which immediately follows the Powerball drawing.

The new optional feature costs just $1 per play. You use your same numbers from the Powerball drawing in the Double Play drawing. The Double Play drawing occurs just after the Powerball drawing.

Just ask the clerk at your favorite store to add Double Play to your ticket or select the Double Play option on a lottery vending machine, on our website, or in the lottery app.

Keep in mind that Double Play is only available as an add-on to a standard Powerball ticket. So if you buy a $2 standard ticket, the cost would be $3 total to add Double Play.

Double Play will officially debut during the Monday night Powerball drawing on Oct. 6. Spread the word and start getting excited about doubling your chances to win big.

This is super exciting and makes sense to me. I no longer have to travel to SC to play doubleplay.

The double play feature is nice as an option, but don’t find myself playing it often outside of say a lottery pool. The odds are stacked and rarely hear of many big winners in a year period. Prefer to just do my regular Powerball and powerplay.

Hi, Jerry! That's right - each add-on is $1 each.
