You no longer need to visit a retailer to participate in one of America’s most recognized draw games. With iPLAY, the West Virginia Lottery’s secure and official online platform, you can enter the POWERBALL© draw from your phone, tablet, or computer—anywhere within state lines.
Whether you’re already familiar with the game or you’re just getting started, here’s a complete guide to playing POWERBALL online with iPLAY, including how it works, what features are available, and how to manage your play.
How POWERBALL© works
POWERBALL© is a multi-state draw game with three drawings each week—on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 PM ET. The starting jackpot is $20 million, and this grows until someone matches all six numbers.
To play, you’ll select:
- Five numbers from 1 to 69
- One POWERBALL© number from 1 to 26
Each play costs $2, and you can add the Power Play option for an additional $1. Power Play means you have the potential to multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X (depending on the draw).
Plus, there are nine total prize tiers in POWERBALL©. So, even if you don’t hit the jackpot, you still have multiple ways to land a prize. For a full breakdown of prize tiers and odds, visit the West Virginia Lottery’s official site.

Features that could enhance your online POWERBALL© play

- Auto-Renew
Set up recurring entries so your selected numbers are automatically played in every upcoming POWERBALL© draw. You won’t need to log in each time to repurchase tickets. - Jackpot Chase
Do you prefer to play only when the prize reaches a certain threshold? With Jackpot Chase, you can select a minimum jackpot amount. Once the jackpot reaches that level, your ticket is automatically purchased.
Both features are optional and can be managed at any time in your iPLAY account.
