Buzztime Billiards players can play
against one other player in "8-Ball
" or "9-Ball" and play against two other
players in a game of "Cutthroat".
Here's how it
works:
-- When the previous record Powerball jackpot has been surpassed, a new
"Share the Winnings" feature sets jackpot growth to no more than
$25 million per draw.
Any additional funds that would go into the
grand prize pool above the $25 million will
be placed into a BONUS
Prize Pool that will be divided equally among any 5 of 5 prize winners
of the drawing in which the jackpot is hit.
-- The BONUS Prize Pool grows until the
jackpot is won.championship pool
