Concept explainers
Aplayer in the Powerball lottery (see Exercise 40) can purchase the Power Play option. When this option has been purchased, prizes other than the
jackpot are multiplied by a multiplier, chosen using a random number generator with weighted values for the different multipliers. When thejackpot is more than S 150,000,000, the weighted values are 24 for 2X, 13 for 3X. 3 for 4X, and 2 for 5I When the jackpot does not exceed S 150,000,000, the weighted values are 24 for 2X, 13 for 3X, 3 for 4X, 2 for 5X, and 1 for 10X. All non-jackpot prizes are multiplied by the multiplier chosen, except pagefor the Si,000,000 prize, which is doubled when the Power Play option is in effect regardless of the multiplier chosen. Mat is the probability that a play who has purchased a Powerball ticket and Power Play wins
- $2,000,000, ifthejackpotis more than Si5o,ooo,ooo?
- $2,000,000, ifthejackpot does not exceed $150,000,000?
- S1000, ifthejackpot does not exceed $150,000,000? (The two ways to do this are for the Power Play multiplier to be 10X, and to match either exactly four of the first five numbers but not the sixth number drawn, or exactly three of the first five numbers and the sixth number drawn.)
- $12, if the jackpot is more than $150,000,000? (The two ways to do this are for the Power Play multiplier to be 3X and to match the sixth number and either one or none of the first five numbers drawn.)
