The Easy Play process allows tickets in Powerball® to be produced from the cash register on the same paper as store receipts. Customers in a Fareway checkout lane staffed by a cashier can buy "Easy Pick" tickets – where the numbers in the plays are randomly assigned – in Powerball for the next drawing.
Players can purchase tickets with 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 plays.
Think of Easy Play as the express lane with just a couple lottery options available. This new option allows you to buy "Easy Pick" tickets at the check-out, but still keeps the line moving along. Customers who want to buy tickets in the full selection of lottery games at the store, choose their own numbers in a lotto game, or cash a lottery prize, will still go to the lottery terminal where a clerk can help them.
In that instance, the Fareway point-of-sale system knows to conduct what’s called a split-tender transaction. You can still buy your groceries with your credit card, but since it’s illegal in Iowa for lottery tickets to be purchased with credit, you’ll need to pay for your lottery ticket with cash or a debit card. But if you’re buying your groceries with cash or debit, you’ll just make one payment for everything.
The Easy Play option is currently only available in checkout lanes staffed by a cashier.
At the moment, no. Easy Play provides a quick way for you to buy tickets and have a chance at those big jackpots. Fareway was the first Iowa Lottery retailer to go live with this new option, and Easy Play is now available at all Fareway locations in the state that sell lottery tickets. We’ll be glad to work with other locations that want to offer it.
