With the 10X slot on the wheel, the expected PowerPlay multiplier is 3.8125, which means that 55.43845% of the second $1 is expected to be returned to the players (19.71145% of the first $1 goes toward the set cash prizes, and 2.8125 times that amount of the second $1 goes toward the extra PowerPlay winnings).

The following table was constructed using data on the official Powerball.com website. I think this would give us some insights into, say, the usefulness of Power Play and the effect of 10x promotion. Unfortunately, I guess, it may tell almost nothing about the influence of 10x promotion on the net proceeds to MUSL. Any thought would be welcome!

Anyone who won with PowerPlay Saturday night is one lucky SOB or B. I did not PowerPlay, but I didn't hit a single number, so it's just as well.
