Playing Powerball Through Iplay: A Step-By-Step Guide

POWERBALL© ranks among America’s most popular draw games, with jackpots starting at $20 million and growing until someone matches all six numbers by chance. Thanks to West Virginia Lottery’s iPLAY platform, you can now try your chances at the next POWERBALL drawings from anywhere in the state using their official website or app. This guide breaks down the process so you can try POWERBALL© through iPLAY with confidence.

About POWERBALL©

In POWERBALL©, you pick five numbers from one to 69 and one POWERBALL© number from one to 26. Match all six to win the jackpot, though there are eight other prize tiers based on how many numbers you match. Draws happen three times weekly: Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 11:00 PM ET.

Step 1: Set up your iPLAY account

Before playing online, you’ll need an account with the West Virginia Lottery:

• Head to the official website or Lottery app
• Sign up with your name, address, birth date, and contact details. You’ll also need the last four digits of your Social Security Number
• Confirm your identity and verify you’re 18 or older
• Set personal limits for deposits and playing to manage your activity

Step 2: Fund your account

After verification, you may need to add some funds into your account to purchase tickets for the draw. You can do this via approved payment methods such as debit cards, credit cards, or bank transfers. All transactions run through the official platform’s secure system.

Step 3: Find the POWERBALL game

From the home screen or menu, select POWERBALL© from the available draw games. This takes you to the game screen where you can start your play.

Step 4: Choose your numbers

You’ve got two ways to pick numbers:

• Pick them yourself: Select five main numbers from one to 69 and one POWERBALL© number between one and 26.
• Quick Pick: This option lets the system randomly generate numbers for you using certified and regulated Random Number Generator (RNG) software.

You can choose to also add Power Play® for an extra cost. This option has the potential to multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x, depending on the draw.

Step 5: Choose your draws

The next step is to decide how many consecutive draws you want to enter. iPLAY also lets you set up auto-renewal so you don’t miss any drawings. You can toggle this feature in your account settings.

Step 6: Check and confirm

Before you finalize your purchase:

• Double-check your numbers
• Confirm any extras like Power Play®
• Verify the total cost

After you submit it, your digital ticket stays safely in your account. There’s no need to worry about losing a paper ticket!

Step 7: View your results

POWERBALL© results appear shortly after each drawing. You can check your numbers:

• On your iPLAY dashboard
• Through email or push alerts (if you’ve decided to turn them on)
• Via the West Virginia Lottery website or app

If your numbers match any prize level, winnings go straight to your account for smaller amounts. Any bigger prizes might need extra verification and in-person collection.

Step 8: Play within your limits

iPLAY includes tools for responsible gaming such as deposit limits, session reminders, and self-exclusion options to help you manage your gameplay.

iPLAY gives you the chance to join one of America’s biggest draw games through any compatible advice, anywhere in West Virginia you have internet access. With secure account access, automatic notifications and so many games to choose from, will you be trying your chances at the West Virginia Lottery?
