Powerball ® and Mega Millions ® are our two<br />
biggest and most popular jackpot games.<br />
Most of your customers know that<br />
Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots<br />
can grow to enormous amounts. What<br />
they may not realize, however, is even the<br />
smallest Powerball and Mega Millions<br />
jackpots are really <strong>BIG</strong>. Make sure players<br />
know that starting jackpots are an impressive<br />
$40 million for Powerball and<br />
$12 million for Mega Millions.<br />
Players can win several different prizes<br />
by matching some or all of the 6 balls<br />
for both Powerball and Mega Millions.<br />
For example, if a player matches all 5<br />
white balls but not the red Powerball,<br />
they still win $1 million. That prize<br />
amount automatically increases to<br />
$2 million when they add Power Play ® .<br />
Mentioning this to players who may be<br />
discouraged about not winning the jack-<br />
Win Big<br />
with<br />
pot could inspire them to come back and<br />
play again.<br />
Be sure to remind your players how quick<br />
and easy Powerball and Mega Millions<br />
are to play. They can simply buy a Quick<br />
Pick or choose their own lucky numbers.<br />
And, it only costs $3 to play both. These<br />
days, that’s less than a latte!<br />
New Powerball and Mega Millions point<br />
of sale materials<br />
are coming<br />
your way<br />
soon. Tell<br />
your players<br />
to pick both<br />
Powerball<br />
and Mega<br />
Millions, for<br />
a chance to<br />
win exciting<br />
prizes!<br />
