Pooling Programs

If you are new to PowerPick, we recommend you go to our Getting Started Page.

PowerPick offers 8 week, 4 week and 1 week pooling selections. They are listed in the three tables shown below. These pools are referred to as PowerPools.
You may order by mail or over the phone with a credit card, debit card, or check. We can get you into the next drawing and your numbers will be mailed to you the same day your order is received. You may also register under the Member Area on this web site, where you will be able to view the tickets you share and the winnings, resulting from those tickets, after each drawing.

Classic Lotto / Mega Millions / or Both Options:

You can choose to make any selection ALL Classic Lotto, ALL Mega Millions or Split (half of each). If you choose to split your selection, although the total tickets will remain the same, you will have half as many chances per drawing, but twice as many drawings.

** 1 Week Plays - These plays give you, in one week, the same number of chances you would normally get in 4 weeks - giving you four times as many chances per night for the week. The purpose of the 1 Week Play is to provide you with a special selection that you might want to use when the Jackpots are high.

PowerPick’s $100 Million Dollar Club

500 ticket pool for
only $1!

Here's how it works:

We will purchase up to 5 blocks of 500 tickets (yessirree - that's FIVE HUNDRED TICKETS) on EVERY drawing night the Mega Millions jackpot is estimated to be $100 MILLION or more. In addition you can purchase up to 3 shares in each block (pool), which makes your share of the prize 3 times greater!

We will try to keep the number of shares in each pool to about 650 plus or minus about 50 to produce an approximate range of 600 to 700 shares, with 600 being the absolute minimum. PowerPick receives any shares under 600 that are not ordered. So, if there are 600 shares in the pool, then each prize will be divided 600 ways. And, of course, all the prizes, not just the jackpot, will be distributed.

How do you pay for this great opportunity?

On each drawing night we will look to see who is signed up and we will deduct the amount they have authorized from their available balance. Each share in 500 tickets will cost $1 on each night the tickets are purchased. Thus:

1,000 tickets = $1
2,000 tickets = $2
up to 5,000 tickets for $5.

In addition, you can purchase 2 or 3 shares instead of just 1 share for an additional $1 per share per 500 tickets. Additional shares will give you a larger piece of each prize. Thus, when the jackpot is divided by all the shares, the person with 2 shares will get twice as much as the person with one share.

So, you can spend from as little as $1 per night the tickets are purchased up to $15 per night (5 pools x 3 shares).

Example:
1 pool & 1 share = $1 per night
1 pool & 2 shares = $2 per night
1 pool & 3 shares = $3 per night

2 pools & 1 share = $2 per night
2 pools & 2 shares = $4 per night
2 pools & 3 shares = $6 per night
etc.

If you don’t have sufficient funds in your pooling account with PowerPick, you can give us permission to tap your bank card or checking account so you won’t miss out. When we look for additional funds the minimum amount that will be transferred into your pooling account will be $10. Once the funds are transferred, we will only use the funds as necessary, and any unused balance, of course, will remain in your account for your future use. Once the jackpot reaches $100 million, it doesn’t last many drawings so $10 will more than likely be more than you need if you are spending just $1 per night.

Note: If the only money you have available will not be sufficient to cover the number of pools and shares, we will use what you have to first put you in the number of pools, then the number of shares. If you give us permission to use electronic transfer to transfer the funds from your checking account and the electronic transfer comes back with insufficient funds, the withdrawal attempt will stop.

Who and how many can participate?

Anyone who has a pooling selection active on the night we buy these tickets can participate.

How can you participate?
It's very simple - you can let us know your preferences by mail or phone.

Pools and Shares are Subject to Availability

We won’t know until the day of the drawing just how many tickets we can purchase and how many shares a person can get. The computer program (which we love and could never do without - bless its little heart) will take all the requests and will give everyone the number of tickets and number of shares up to what has been requested. So, the number of pools and number of shares you will receive will depend on how many pools we can afford to purchase and what is available to allocate.

Announcement of Pool and Share Assignments - How will I know the numbers?

The computer program will determine all pool assignments at the end of the work day (but before the drawing). So, please do not call our office to find out what pools you have been assigned to. Not only will we not know until the work day is over, but we will not be able to handle that call volume while we are preparing for the drawing.

We will post the pool assignments by ID number on our web site at www.powerpick.com on the Million Dollar Club Assignments page. The winning results, of course will appear on your Winnings Statements as usual. If you do not have a computer, perhaps a friend or relative can tell you which pools you are in. It will only take them a moment to check for you. Because most players don’t care to check thousands of numbers and due to the costs, we will not be sending out copies of all the numbers except by individual request.

Participation Deadline

You must have an active play and have your preferences into us by 2:00pm Tuesday and Friday. This will allow us enough time to organize the pools and purchase the tickets.

New 3 Digit Coding After ID Number

To help you know your preferences we have added a 3 digit code that follows your ID number.

Position 1 - "A" or "U" for Authorized or Unauthorized to tap your payment source if your available funds are insufficient based on your preferences.
Position 2 - Number of pools requested.
Position 3 - "S" "D" or "T" for Single, Double or Triple shares requested.

Note: All questions concerning the interpretation of the $100 Million Dollar Club rules will be decided by PowerPick. Rules subject to change.

Please call our friendly staff with any questions.
Hours are from 9:00am to 5:00pm Mon - Fri.
