Go to any New York Lottery retailer and pick up a Powerball playcard.

 

Using a blue or black pen or pencil, fill in your choice of five numbers from 1 to 59 in the upper section of a game panel and select one Powerball number from 1 to 35 in the lower section of the same game panel for each game you want to play. Or save time by choosing Quick Pick and letting the computer randomly select numbers for you.

 

If you make a mistake, mark the VOID box for that game and move to the next game.

 

You can choose to take a cash payment at the time of the prize claim or within sixty (60) days after you are entitled to the prize. All Powerball prizes over $50,000 and all prizes of $5,000 or more over 180 days or older will be held pending additional security verification as required by the Multi-State Lottery Association.

 

Turn in your playcard(s) to the retailer, and you'll receive a separate ticket for each playcard processed.

 

You can play the same numbers for more than one draw. Use the multi draws column to select up to 26 consecutive draws. The cost of each game is $2.

 

Check your ticket(s) before leaving the retailer location to verify the numbers and the date printed are correct.

 

You can try your luck seven days a week, 4:00 a.m. until terminals close at 3:30 a.m. or 9:00 p.m. on draw nights when the game closes. To avoid last minute lines, play early.
