Powerball Xs & Os kicks off on Sunday

This weekend also introduces players to a brand new game. Powerball X’s & O’s will hold its first drawing on Sunday, September 13.

This new multi-state draw game gives players their first chance to win the game’s progressive jackpot on Sunday, which starts at $1 million.

Instead of picking traditional lottery numbers, this $5 draw game allows players to select eight NFL team logos from the league’s 32 teams. To win the jackpot, a ticket must match all eight teams drawn. If no tickets match all eight teams, the jackpot rolls over until it happens.

In addition, there are other prizes available, along with chances to win NFL-related experiences, including a trip to the Super Bowl.

Drawings will take place every Sunday at 10 p.m. ET, making Powerball X’s & O’s another lottery jackpot to watch as the weekend comes to a close.

Enjoy playing the lottery, and please remember to play responsibly.
