Interesting then, what's on the internet, find bad reviews, but most likely real reviews, complicated. Everywhere they write, what a great way to get rich, huge jackpots, that even a Russian citizen can get. However, these reviews have no proof., and most likely they are written by the scammers themselves.

However, there are those, who shares their negative impressions of Powerball:

What is basic game, Power Play?

Говоря о basic game, we mean lottery basics, its rules and features. В Powerball, just like any other lottery game, have their own distinctive features, inherent only to her.

The Powerball lottery involves players choosing six numbers for their ticket. Five numbers from this series are basic, and one number is an additional. If the player was able to correctly identify all 6 winning combination numbers, then he gets the main prize - the jackpot.

The main combination of numbers is selected by players from a range of values 1-69. The main numbers located on the white balls in the game are drawn from the first game lottery drum. The additional game number is located on the red ball, it is taken out of the second lottery drum. An additional number is chosen by the participants when filling out a ticket from the matrix 1-26.

The main prize is available to the player if all six numbers match. The rest of the prizes are divided into prize categories based on the number of matched numbers. The minimum winnings fluctuate within 4 dollars. Первый после джекпота приз в Powerball составляет 1 million dollars. The ticket price depends on the intermediary, through which the player acquires it.

The player has the opportunity to designate up to ten combinations of numbers on the fields of the lottery ticket. Each additional combination increases the value of the lottery ticket.

The Power Play function can be activated subject to an additional surcharge 1 dollar. If you became the owner of the main prize of the game, then the option has no effect. The jackpot is not multiplied by any multiplier. However, организаторы лотереи Powerball предлагают игрокам такой главный приз, which does not need multipliers.

Winnings depending on the number of matched numbers:

• additional number or additional + 1 main - 4 dollar;
• any 3 numbers - 7 dollars;
• any 4 numbers - 100 dollars;
• 4 major + 1 additional - 10 one thousand dollars;
• 5 main numbers - 1 million dollars.

If there is more than one winner in the game, and a few, then the prize is divided equally among all players. This rule only applies to winning the jackpot. Secondary prizes are given to players in full. Usually, главный приз лотереи Powerball имеет минимальное значение в 40 000 000 dollars. From this mark, the jackpot accumulates from game to game, if none of the players wins. The main prize accumulates until then, until one of the participants rips it off. Powerball sometimes offers its players truly record jackpots.

Power Play can make a difference 2,3,4,5 or 10. Depending on the value of the option, the prize increases. To activate the function, you must pay extra when buying a ticket 1 dollars.

Your winnings may increase by 10 once only on condition, что главный приз составляет менее 150 000 000 dollars.

Types of Powerball Cheats

"Divorce for money" by phone:

A simple and common way to fool a person. Unknown person calls on the phone and says, what works for Powerball. Intruder, during the conversation, seeks to assure you, that he is the official representative of the American lottery. And to "powder" the victim's brains, he may give some meaningless reference numbers or ticket information, will tell you the details about the lottery you won. In general, it will "hang noodles", so you just believe.

At the second stage of the conversation, the attacker will tell, what to process the prize claim, you need to pay the fee, but it must be done as soon as possible. The swindler leaves no choice to his opponent with his pressure, который не хочет потерять выигрыш.

By the way, phone scammers usually call older people, who will be sure, that they are called by real representatives of Powerball.

Counterfeit tickets:

The easiest way to get money from a victim – offer her cheap tickets. In this case, the scheme is simple: to offer the player tickets for 100 pay lines for just 10 dollars. Such a price should alert, After all, no legitimate lottery provider will offer lottery tickets for almost free. The scammer insists on the immediate payment of tickets, otherwise they will go to another "lucky". The swindler may require other data: IFO, Bank details. But the problem is, that people in joyful panic tell everything. And this is their mistake

Postal fraud:

The victim receives a letter to their inbox with information about the huge win from Powerball. In the text, the scammer asks to return some of the money by mail, to get the whole jackpot. The attacker puts moral pressure on the victim and demands an immediate response, otherwise the prize will be transferred to another player. As statistics show, this type of adventure is also conducted by pensioners.

Email Fraud:

In fact, this is the same, as mail fraud: the swindler tries to convince the victim that, that she won a prize and all that is required of her is the payment of tax or duty. Its useful to note, that emails in their text most often contain website addresses, which may have files dangerous for your computer. Thus, the swindler can gain access to the victim's personal data..

Fake emails may look quite realistic and may contain links to a real website. Unfortunately, the number of such letters is growing every year, because a scammer can send hundreds of letters at a time.

Swindlers are smart people, and they can act very carefully. In a harmless letter, only personal data may be required from you, name, date of birth and if you write them, then the fraudster will understand, that pushing you, he will receive all the information, что его интересует.

Such letters come to the mail.

"Divorce" on a mobile phone:

In this case, you receive a message from an unknown number, where it says that you became one of the lucky ones, who managed to win the Powerball prize, to pick it up, you just need to call the number, to discuss the details of the meeting. And here is the most interesting. By calling the number, you find yourself on a premium line and get a big phone bill at the end of the month. Fraudsters deliberately create premium phone numbers, they make money exclusively from your calls. Their task is to increase the duration of the conversation.

They don't care at all, whether they recognize your personal data or not

Messages in solil networks:

Also, scammers can register on behalf of the "winner", to share your joy with the victim and prove, что это не мошенники.

How to identify scammers

To avoid becoming a victim of intruders, there are several options, how to expose them:

First and foremost, remember, you cannot participate in the lottery if you have not bought a ticket yourself. That is all, what comes to your mail or message is all fake.
Winner doesn't pay to win. Remember, that the main goal of lottery scammers is to steal money from you

And they don't care at all, what amount will it be, dollar or five. Some of them go straight ahead, immediately asking the client to transfer money, ostensibly, tax or duty

Others, more careful, just ask for personal details and bank details, to withdraw money from your account in the future. If you are offered to pay (even if it's a small amount), to get the rest of the winnings, know you are the object of the scammer.
Customer suppression. The pressure in the conversation suggests, that they want to breed you. From the very first minutes of the conversation you are assured that, that you are a winner and you need to urgently pay a commission. The letters follow the same pattern.: the victim is simply not given time to think. As we wrote above, such pressure works great on retirees.

The swindlers got so smart and cunning, that they are trying to lull the vigilance in different ways. For instance, messages and letters may contain different sets of letters and numbers (number of ticket), non-existent abbreviations (alleged reduction of the official representative). The more incomprehensible words, digits, the more likely, what is this divorce.

Having received a letter by mail, do not rush to rejoice

First of all, pay attention to the sender's address. If it's gmail

com or hotmail.com, that is 100% scammers.
