WHAT IS '2BY2'?
One of the ways to win the Powerball is to play 2by2.
The rules state “It’s easy to play. Pick two red numbers between 1 and 26 and two white numbers between 1 and 26, or let the lottery terminal randomly choose your numbers.
“Each play costs $1.
“Purchase a multi-draw ticket for seven consecutive draws and qualify for the 2by2 Tuesday feature in which all prizes won on Tuesday automatically double in value!”
