Rules for the Powerball Xs & Os™ National Promotions Program Offered on the Powerball® Official Website (PowerballOfficial.com) and on the Powerball® Official App*


OVERVIEW – Powerball Xs & Os Promotions

The Powerball Xs & Os lottery game offers additional ways to win various prizes when Players purchase and enter (manually or by scanning) information from a valid Powerball Xs & Os ticket on the Powerball Official Website or the Powerball Official App, and then selecting promotions which are available online, on mobile devices, and in certain jurisdictions, by mail-in vouchers**.


Players are required to establish an Account as provided below. Once the Account has been set up, Players can enter eligible Powerball Xs & Os tickets (Eligible Tickets), to receive Points which can be used as Entries to enter Promotional Drawings for chances to win various prizes. Anticipated prize categories may include gift cards, merchandise, NFL game tickets, and trip packages.


In jurisdictions where Players purchase Powerball Xs & Os tickets via iLottery, there will be no physical tickets to enter.


Once an iLottery Player has set up their Account, and links it to the respective iLottery account, the Player’s purchases, starting on the day of linking and continuing, unless unlinked, will be added to their Account so the Player can accumulate Points and assign Entries accordingly. This process may take up to forty-eight (48) hours.


iLottery Players who do not set up an Account and link it to their iLottery account the same day of, or prior to a purchase will not receive Points for the Eligible Ticket purchase.


A Player’s Account will display the number of Points earned from Eligible Ticket scans or manual entries. Players can decide which Drawings to enter. The number of Points to be used as Entries will correlate directly to the value of the Eligible Ticket scanned or manually entered. Entrants may experience promotional windows where the number of Entries is variable based on available multipliers offered on the Powerball Official App and/or the Powerball Official Website.


Up until the time provided on the Powerball Official Website or Powerball Official App for allocating Entries for a Promotional Drawing, Players can change which prize they would like a chance to win by reallocating any Entries previously assigned.


PRIZE AWARDS

Winners of promotional prizes must meet the following qualifications:

  1. Players’ names selected via an official Promotional Drawing
  2. Players respond to all applicable deadline(s) associated with the prize
  3. Players have no offsets


Any Player selected or drawn who does not respond in the timeframe required by the Promotional Drawing will be disqualified, and an alternate winner will be selected.


Experiential and other prizing may require Players to sign release forms that waive their rights to anonymity in jurisdictions that allow for the same.


ELIGIBLE TICKETS

Only current Powerball Xs & Os Tickets will be Eligible Tickets and accepted into a Player’s Account. Selling Lotteries, lottery vendors, lottery retailers, MUSL, and MUSL vendors will not be responsible for entering Eligible Tickets for any Account holder.


PROMOTIONAL PRIZES

To enter a Promotional Drawing, Players must create and log into their Account. Eligible Tickets are calculated as Points, which can be used to allocate Entries, for chances to win promotional prizes in various prize categories.


CLAIMING PRIZES

Winners of any promotional prize will be notified by email, text, or phone call. It is the Player’s responsibility to provide and maintain current and correct contact information. Winners of a promotional prize will find prize fulfillment requirements on the applicable Selling Lottery’s website.


DEBT OFFSETS, TAXES, AND CLAIMS PROCESS***

No debt offsets will be performed on prizes valued at $499 or less.


Debt offsets, taxes, and other claims processes for prizes valued at more than $499 will undergo this procedure:


Players who live in a jurisdiction that offers the game:

Offsets, taxes, and other claims processes will be performed by the Selling Lottery located in the jurisdiction in which a Player resides, as established on their Account.


Players who live in a jurisdiction that does not offer the game, or that does not have a lottery:

Offsets, taxes, and other claims processes will be performed by the Selling Lottery that sold the Eligible Ticket last entered by the Player. In other words, the most recently entered Eligible Ticket will determine which Selling Lottery will perform the offset, taxes, and other claims processes.


Prizes that include trips to NFL games or other venues will have specific participation terms and conditions. Winners of a trip prize will need to be available for travel on certain dates, may be allowed one guest (with some restrictions) who will travel on the same itinerary, and will be required to fill out and sign certain documents, including but not limited to an appearance and liability release, emergency medical release, winner information form, and a background investigation form in some instances. Winners may have the option to designate a proxy to attend an event on the winners’ behalf in certain jurisdictions. Notification timelines as described in the Promotional Drawing and prize descriptions for the applicable Drawings in the app. Failure to comply with any notification or other requirements may result in forfeiture of the prize.
