PowerPick Players Club BBB Business Review

FAQ

Q: Can orders be placed on the PowerPick website?
A: No. The website is for information only.

Q: How can orders be placed?
A: By phone, mail or in person.

Q: What is PowerPick all about?
A: PowerPick is about giving people HUNDREDS MORE chances of becoming a lottery jackpot winner through pools put together by PowerPick, and all you need is yourself. Our pools include many benefits (see our Getting Started page). We do everything for you, so you can start out sharing HUNDREDS of tickets instead of sharing just a few tickets! While the best example of pooling is the "office pool" where groups of players combine their dollars to share the tickets and share the winnings, with PowerPick, each person in the group ends up with dramatically more chances of becoming a big winner because of the large blocks of tickets that are purchased. Plus you will benefit from so many of our other free services (see our Community Benefits Insight).

PowerPick does all the work and you. One call can answer your questions and we can place your order by phone or mail. You can use a credit card, debit card or check over the phone. You won't be standing in line, forgetting to buy tickets or making last minute dashes to the store. It's simply the most powerful, exciting and convenient way of playing.

Q: Who can play?
A: You must be 21 years of age and have an Arizona mailing address.

Q: What does PowerPick charge?
A: All you pay is the price shown on the order form plus a $3.50 one-time setup fee the first time you play. The price of your selection includes the cost of the tickets and the cost for all the other services and benefits offered by PowerPick. There are no other charges.

Q: How are the PowerPools structured?
A: There are 25 or 50 shares in each pool of The Pick™, Powerball®, and Mega Millions®. There are 10 shares in each Fantasy 5™ pool.

Q: How much of the winnings are paid out?
A: 100% of all winnings are paid out to all those who share the numbers.

Q: What share of the winnings will I receive?
A: Your share depends on the group size you selected. Each player receives a 1/50th share of the winnings from their PowerPool if they are in a pool size of 50, or a 1/25th share of their PowerPool winnings if they are in a pool size of 25. Your share of the winnings is also determined by the number of shares you have in the winning pool. Unless you purchased multiple shares, you would receive one share of the winnings. For the $100 Million Dollar Club winnings distribution, please ask for the separate handout.

Q: How are PowerPick’s numbers chosen?
A: Unless specified otherwise, PowerPick’s computer randomly selects the numbers. The numbers are selected in advance so they can be sent to you before the drawings.

Q: Is it safe to use my debit card, credit card or check over the phone?
A: Yes. It is just as safe as giving it to a salesperson in a store.

Q: How do I make sure I don’t miss any drawings?
A: PowerPick sends out a Renewal Form approximately one week before your current selection is due to expire, but to make sure you don’t miss out, you can join our Automatic Renewal Program. You will automatically receive your new numbers with no missed drawings. You can also change or stop your Automatic Renewal at any time before the selection has started. Another benefit of Automatic Renewal on PowerPools is Bonus Tickets. You will receive 25% more chances in whichever of these three games is part of your main play (Powerball, Mega Millions and The Pick), plus you will receive FREE pools in Fantasy 5.

Q: Where does the money go?

Your Payment

* Includes tickets for PowerPools, Pick 'n Pools, Million Dollar Club, Free Scratcher Tickets, Free Plays, Free Bonus Tickets, BoosterBucks and Other Incentives.

** Includes advertising, labor, programming, rent, telephones, insurance, computers, mailing equipment, paper costs, postage, printing, and other overhead.

On average, tickets, bonuses and other incentives represent about 51% of the moneys paid in and servicing represents about 41%. Because there are costs that are the same regardless of the size of the play, the larger and longer the play, the more of the money that goes toward tickets and bonuses.

Your Share of the Winnings

* Sometimes PowerPick will also receive a share of the winnings, but only if PowerPick owns a share of the ticket just like any other member. PowerPick never receives any part of the winnings out of your share - you get 100%. So, for example, if you are in a group of 50, you will receive 1/50th of the winnings and if you are in a group of 25, you will receive 1/25th of the winnings.

Q: Can I spread my selection over different games?
A: For each selection, you can choose to have all your tickets be one game, or split your chances.

Q: Can I purchase multiple selections?
A: Yes, since we usually have several pools open, you may order a selection in any of our available pools. You can order the same selection number more than once or you can order different selection numbers. PowerPick makes sure that you are not assigned to any set of numbers more than once.

Q: What if I forget to check my numbers?
A: No problem. PowerPick automatically checks the numbers for every pool after every lottery drawing. You won’t miss out on any of your winnings.

Q: With all those numbers, shouldn’t the winnings cover the cost of my selection?
A: We hope so, but unless your numbers win some of the larger prizes, the smaller prizes will not cover the cost of your selection because they are divided among the other players sharing your numbers. However, the good news is your selection includes BoosterBucks, one or more Scratcher tickets, hundreds of other chances, any one of which could pay off big, plus all the other bonuses and benefits. Also, keep in mind that the goal of pooling is not to win more small prizes but to get the most chances of winning the jackpot. Q: What are BoosterBucks?
A: BoosterBucks are cash rebates which appear on every Winnings Statement. This cash rebate will be added to your account balance. And of course, BoosterBucks are in addition to the Free Instant Tickets. The more you play, the more BoosterBucks you receive. So, you will never walk away empty handed!

Q: When will I receive my winnings?
A: PowerPick reports your winnings at the end of each selection on your Winnings Statement. You may request a check, apply the balance to your next selection, or let it accumulate for future use. You have a full year from the date of your final play to claim your winnings or use them towards another selection. If your share of the winnings is $50 or larger, PowerPick will automatically include a check with your Winnings Statement.

Q: How is the jackpot handled?
A: PowerPick will notify each winner by phone and certified letter along with a claim form.

Q: How can I confirm that the tickets have been purchased for each drawing?
A: At any time you may request a photocopy of any ticket purchased. Include a copy of your certificate with the set of numbers circled, along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope or your fax number.
