About Powerball Xs & Os™
Powerball Xs & Os™ is a multi-state weekly draw game. Play for your chance to win cash prizes, football experiences in the second chance drawings and more!
How To Play*
Powerball Xs & Os™ is a draw-based game similar to other lotto games like Powerball and Millionaire for Life. It costs $5 per play and
has the BEST ODDS of all the national draw games! The ticket prints straight from the terminal.
You can choose your own NFL team logos, 8 out of 32, or ask for an Easy Pick to have the lottery terminal or self-service kiosk to select the
teams on your ticket. Check the multi-draw box to buy tickets for up to 10 consecutive drawings at a time.
Powerball Xs & Os drawings are held weekly on Sundays at approximately 9:00 p.m. Here in Iowa, tickets may be purchased until 7:59 p.m.
each day.
Powerball prizes won in Iowa must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing in which they were won.
The set prize amounts published herein are based upon the expected number of winners sharing the prize pool. In some cases, these prizes may be paid on a pari-mutuel basis and will be lower than the prize levels.
Prizes & Odds**
Cash Option vs. Annuity Option
Unlike Powerball, prizes, including the Jackpot Prize award, are cash only. There is no annuity option. The player will receive a single payment equal to the amount available in the jackpot prize pool from the sale of tickets in the game.
Fans can enter both winning and nonwinning eligible tickets into the new national Powerball promotional prize program, featuring exclusive
prize drawings. You can enter them as soon as you purchase them – there's no need to wait for the drawing!
Every ticket entered earns you points that you can enter for a chance to win the prizes you want most. Best of all, there is no additional
cost to participate beyond the purchase of an eligible Powerball Xs & Os ticket.
Available prizes include a trip to Super Bowl LXI, NFL Shop gift cards to purchase their favorite NFL officially licensed products, and
unique NFL experiences. Prize availability, details, and fulfillment are subject to the official rules.
