🏆Prize Pool Distributions
The BALLGAME Lottery rewards players across nine (9) prize divisions, with each division offering a different share of the weekly prize pool, including a massive Jackpot for matching all numbers plus the Power Ball.
Please note that these distributions may be subject to change based on player feedback.
All prizes are automatically calculated and paid based on the total pool for that draw.
Remember, all you need is at least one (1) Powerball number to win! Our prize pools are distributed as per the following table below.

Why Is Division 9 Worth More Than Some Others?
You might notice that Divisions 8 and 9, where you only need to match 1 or 2 numbers, has a higher prize distribution than many other mid tier divisions.
Here’s why.
More Winners, Smaller Payouts
Division 8 and 9 typically has the highest number of winners in any draw, because it only requires matching one number, the Power Ball. To make the win feel meaningful and still exciting, we have allocated a slightly larger share of the prize pool here.
Encouraging Casual Play
We want even casual or new players to feel the thrill of winning, even if they didn’t match all the numbers. A stronger Division 8 and 9 prize pool keeps more players engaged and motivated to keep playing.
Better Player Experience
Instead of spreading those funds thinly across mid-tiers where winners are much rarer, this structure rewards more people, more often, while still leaving the Jackpot and top divisions with the biggest prizes.
Example
If the total prize pool was $1,000,000, then the allocation of funds to be distributed as follows.
Jackpot
$450,000
Division 2
$150,000
Division 3
$60,000
Division 4
$60,000
Division 5
$50,000
Division 6
$50,000
Division 7
$50,000
Division 8
$60,000
Division 9
$70,000
If a prize division has multiple winners, the total amount allocated to that division will be split equally among them. For example, if three (3) players win Division 3, and that division’s prize pool is $60,000, each winner will receive $20,000.
