The Powerball Power Play promotion is a limited extension of
				  the Powerball game and is conducted in accordance with the Powerball game rules
				  and other lottery rules applicable to the Powerball game except as may be
				  amended herein. The promotion will begin at a time announced by the Nebraska
				  Lottery and will continue until discontinued by the Nebraska Lottery. The
				  promotion will offer to the owners of a qualifying play a chance to increase
				  the amount of any of the eight lump sum Set Prizes (the lump sum prizes
				  normally paying $4 to $1,000,000) won in a drawing held during the promotion.
				  The Grand Prize jackpot is not a Set Prize and will not be
				  increased.
710.02 Qualifying
				Play
Except as otherwise provided in the Powerball game rules or
				  these Regulations, a qualifying play is any single Powerball play for which the
				  player pays an extra dollar for the Power Play option play and which is
				  recorded at the Party Lottery's central computer as a qualifying
				  play.

Prize Pool.
The prize
				pool for all prize categories shall consist of up to forty-nine and ninety-six
				one-hundredths ( 49.96%) percent of each drawing period's sales, including any
				specific statutorily-mandated tax of a selling lottery to be included in the
				price of a ticket, after the Powerball prize reserve accounts are funded to the
				amounts set by the Product Group. Any amount remaining in the prize pool at the
				end of this game shall be returned to all lotteries participating in the
				reserve after the end of all claim periods of all selling lotteries, carried
				forward to a replacement game, or expended in a manner as directed by the
				Product Group in accordance with state law.

				0.04(2)
Prize Reserve Accounts.
An additional
				four-one-hundredths of one percent ( 0.04%) of sales, including any specific
				statutorily-mandated tax to be included in the price of a ticket, may be
				collected and placed in the rollover account or in trust in one or more prize
				reserve accounts until the prize reserve accounts reach the amounts designated
				by the Product Group
710.04(3)
Expected Prize Payout.
Except as provided in these rules, all
				prizes awarded shall be paid as lump sum set prizes. Instead of the Powerball
				set prize amounts, qualifying Power Play plays will pay the amounts shown in
				710.03.
In certain rare instances, the Powerball set prize amount may
				  be less than the amount shown. In such case, the eight lowest Power Play prizes
				  will be changed to an amount announced after the draw. For example, if the
				  Match 4+1 Powerball set prize amount of $10,000 becomes $5,000 under the rules
				  of the Powerball game, then a Power Play player winning that prize amount would
				  win $20,000.
