Powerball Multi-Draws Reduced for Upcoming Game Changes
To prepare for the addition of Monday Powerball drawings in August 2021, the Nebraska Lottery is temporarily reducing the amount of drawings that can be purchased on a ticket.
The maximum number of Powerball multi-draws that can be purchased on a ticket will be reduced with each successive drawing starting on June 2, 2021. Once the final drawing (August 21, 2021) under the game's current matrix has taken place, it will again be possible to purchase multi-draw tickets for up to 12 weeks of consecutive drawings (36 draws).

Once the new drawing schedule is in place, players should discard any old Powerball play slips and pick up new play slips at any Nebraska Lottery retailer. The prize structure will remain the same, and tickets will continue to cost $2 per play.
