Ready to try your changes online from your computer or phone in West Virginia? Here’s how to use iPLAY for the next POWERBALL® draw.
Step 1: Set up your account
First, head to the official West Virginia Lottery website or app and click sign up, log in, or create an account. The site will walk you through setting up your account. You’ll need to provide basic information like your name, address, and date of birth & social security number to verify you’re eligible to play.
Remember, you must be at least 18 years old and physically located within West Virginia borders to use iPLAY.
Step 2: Fund your account
Once you’re set up, you’ll need to add some funds into your account. Look for the deposit funds option in your account dashboard. iPLAY works with several payment methods, including debit cards and bank transfers to keep your details safe and secure.
While you’re in this section, you can also set spending limits and check your transaction history – handy online tools for keeping your Lottery play in check.
Step 3: Find POWERBALL® in the game menu
From the main iPLAY screen, look for the “Draw Games” section and click on POWERBALL®. This takes you to the game page where you can pick your numbers or let the Quick Pick feature randomly choose them for you.
To play, you’ll need to select five numbers from one to 69 and one POWERBALL© number from one to 26. Check the box for the Power Play feature if you want to multiply any non-jackpot prizes should you win them. This option costs an extra $1 per play but could boost any smaller wins.
Step 4: Choose how many draws to enter
After picking your numbers, decide if you want to enter just the next draw or several upcoming draws with the multi-draw option.
You could enter up to 26 consecutive drawings in advance!
Take a moment to review all your selections and confirm your purchase. Your digital ticket gets stored safely in your account and you’ll get a message to confirm this.
Step 5: Check your results after the draw
iPLAY makes tracking your entries easier than ever. After each draw, winning numbers appear on the site, and you’ll get an alert if you’ve matched any. You can view results by logging into your account or checking the West Virginia Lottery app.
Prizes up to $600 will be deposited directly into your account. For bigger wins, iPLAY provides clear instructions on claiming your prize.
Step 6: Use the built-in tools to play responsibly
iPLAY includes features to help manage your Lottery activity, like deposit limits, time reminders, and self-exclusion options. These tools ensure you can make the most of POWERBALL® gameplay while playing responsibly. Remember, you can pause your account or adjust your settings anytime.
