Choose a Powerball-Party Appropriate Theme
These theme ideas will maximize your fun and make every guest glad they attended your party!
Casino Night
Guests’ dress code is fancy, with guys in slick suits and gals in sequins and fancy dresses. Opt for a black and red color scheme for balloons, tableware, and décor. The party could coincide with a drawing night, and guests can buy in and purchase Powerball tickets. How cool would it be to have a jackpot winner on your guest list?
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
Re-create the luxe life with pretend money, gold balloons, and champagne. Guests can enter the party via a red carpet to really feel like VIPs. Fancy finger food rounds out the party vibe, and Powerball players can get in on the action by choosing a Powerball ticket (flip them upside down to even up the playing field!)
Jackpot in Your Jammies
Come as you are in your jammies or comfy clothes for a casual night of Powerball and snacks! Guests can cozy up on the floor or couch and wait for the big drawing to see if they have the winning ticket.
Create the Perfect Ambiance
Create the perfect Powerball party atmosphere that will really get partygoers in a jackpot state of mind! Here are some ideas to get your party started:
- Print out fake lottery tickets (make sure they say they’re fake!) and string them on gold twine or ribbon for a fun garland.
- Scatter ‘funny money’ all over the tables for an eye-catching bit of bling. Fake cash, gold coins, dollar signs, or gold nuggets create a fun vibe.
- Set up a projector and project a countdown timer on the wall leading up to the drawing to keep the suspense going.
- Give the guests a dream board where they can write what they’d do with their Powerball jackpot money.
Set up a Powerball Station
Set up a Powerball Station to catch guests as they enter the party to get them excited about playing Powerball and potentially winning the jackpot.
Here is where players can buy in for Powerball play. Before the party, the host can decide how to structure the amounts and have Powerball tickets available for purchase.
- Make the table fun by using a cute treasure chest or mock safe deposit box to corral the tickets and make them easy to reach.
- Keep a tally sheet of everyone’s names and numbers they have chosen, and keep it in a visible location.
- Have a basket of fun consolation prizes to lessen the sting of not holding the winning ticket.
Food and Drink Ideas
A great party must also have great food and drinks to keep the fun going. Here are some solid choices for snacks and drinks that keep with the themes you choose:
- Powerball Pizza Bites are easy to make, and everyone loves pizza, right? These can be mini bagel pizzas or cut a large pie into smaller bite-sized pieces.
- Millionaire Meatballs give cocktail meatballs a new twist by serving them with fancy picks and a decorative bowl resembling expensive china or silverware.
- High Roller Cocktails are really just mixed drinks, but you can jazz them up by serving them in fancy plastic cups or martini glasses rimmed with colored sugars.
- Poor Man’s Champagne might be sparkling cider or prosecco, but served in plastic champagne flutes gives them a party flair!
The Drawing Watch Party Element
It’s what your guests have been waiting for all night. The Powerball drawing itself should be the focal point of your Powerball party. Seat guests in full view of the TV and put up cards that depict numbers drawn. Even if none of your guests were winners, celebrate anyway. Confetti cannons, photo booths, and consolation prizes are all great ways to finish the night. Playing Powerball is fun, and a Powerball Party makes it even more enjoyable!
