Powerball is one of the most popular lotteries in the U.S. To play, you must choose a total of six numbers: five white balls between 1 and 69, and one red Powerball between 1 and 26.
You can select the numbers yourself on a play slip or opt for the Quick Pick option, which lets the lottery system randomly generate your numbers.
You can also add the Power Play option for an additional cost to multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 10 times, depending on the multiplier drawn.
The Powerball lottery is played in 45 out of the 50 U.S. states, as well as in Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It remains one of the most widely played lotteries in the country.
Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Keep in mind that ticket sales close 1 to 2 hours before the draw, depending on the rules in your selling jurisdiction.
Below is the full list of Powerball prizes:
You don’t need to be a US citizen or resident to purchase a Powerball ticket. Anyone, including tourists or visitors, can purchase a ticket in a jurisdiction where the lottery is authorized, as long as they are of legal playing age. However, it’s important to note that prizes are subject to income tax laws, both federal and those of the jurisdiction where the ticket was purchased.
To win a Powerball prize, you don’t need to match the white ball numbers in the exact order they are drawn; you can match the combination in any order. However, it’s crucial that the red ball, the Powerball, exactly matches the number on your ticket for that draw. Each draw on your ticket is considered independently, meaning you can’t mix numbers from different lines or tickets to form a winning combination.
