(D) Probability of Power Play Numbers Being Drawn.
The following table sets forth the probability of the various Power
Play numbers being drawn during a single Powerball Power Play Drawing.
The Powerball Group may elect to run limited promotions that may modify
the multiplier features. Power Play does not apply to the Powerball
Grand Prize. Except as provided in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph,
a Power Play Match 5 + 0 prize is set at two million dollars ($2,000,000.00),
regardless of the multiplier selected.

(5) Limitations on Payment of Power Play Prizes.
(A) Prize Pool Carried Forward. The prize pool percentage
allocated to the Power Play Set Prizes shall be carried forward to
subsequent draws if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the
Set Prizes awarded in the current draw.
(B) Pari-Mutuel Prizes--All Prize Amounts. If the total
of the original Powerball Set Prizes and the Power Play Prizes awarded
in a Drawing exceeds the percentage of the prize pools allocated to
the Set Prizes, then the amount needed to fund the Set Prizes (including
the Power Play prize amounts) awarded shall first come from the amount
available in the Set Prize Pool and the Power Play Prize Pool, if
any, second from the Powerball Group's Set Prizes Reserve Account,
if available, not to exceed forty million dollars ($40,000,000.00)
per Drawing, and third from other amounts as agreed to by the Powerball
Group in their sole discretion.
(C) If, after these sources are depleted, there are
not sufficient funds to pay the Set Prizes awarded (including Power
Play prize amounts), then the highest Set Prize (including the Power
Play prize amounts) shall become a pari-mutuel prize. If the amount
of the highest Set Prize, when paid on a pari-mutuel basis, drops
to or below the next highest Set Prize and there are still not sufficient
funds to pay the remaining Set Prizes awarded, then the next highest
Set Prize, including the Power Play prize amount, shall become a pari-mutuel
prize. This procedure shall continue down through all Set Prizes levels,
if necessary, until all Set Prize levels become pari-mutuel prize
levels. In that instance, the money available from the funding sources
listed in this section shall be divided among the winning Plays in
proportion to their respective prize percentages. Powerball and Power
Play prizes will be reduced by the same percentage. By agreement,
the Licensee Lotteries shall independently calculate their set pari-mutuel
prize amounts, including the Power Play prize amounts. The Party Lotteries
and the Licensee Lotteries shall then agree to set the pari-mutuel
prize amounts for all lotteries selling the game at the lesser of
the independently-calculated prize amounts.
(6) Prize Payment.
(A) Prize Payments. All Power Play prizes shall be
paid in a single payment through the Selling Lottery that sold the
winning Power Play Play(s). A Selling Lottery may begin paying Power
Play prizes after receiving authorization to pay from the MUSL central
office.
(B) Prizes Rounded. Prizes, which, under these rules,
may become pari-mutuel prizes, may be rounded down so that prizes
can be paid in multiples of whole dollars. Breakage resulting from
rounding these prizes shall be carried forward to the prize pool for
the next Drawing.
