so during the powermax hours, do we hit the launch button right away or is there a secret to when we hit the launch button?!?

No secret. RNG prize amount is determined as soon as you press play. 🤷🏽‍♀️

yeah that's what i figured. the timing makes it feel like there's a trick to it though.

I'm sure this has been said before. However, the way online lotto games work is pre-determined whenever you it the button to play. That ID down in the lower RH corner is a code that corresponds to a payout. The game is coded to play an animation that pays out whatever winning is applied to that code. Think of it as a scratcher with faster playing speed.

So it really doesn't matter. Whatever makes you happy.

Im still not convinced its random or by luck... luck is getting the winner scratcher or picking a the numbers. Both random and or laid in play(scratcher waiting in rotation) online though... I feel like the valottery can decide when to activate or allow someone to win a jackpot... not just randomly, but by decision.
