How to play Powerball

Players can choose their own numbers or use a Quick Pick to have their numbers randomly selected.

To win the Powerball jackpot, a ticket must match all five white balls as well as the red Powerball.

There are also eight additional prize tiers, meaning players can win a prize without matching all six numbers.

How much does a Powerball ticket cost?

A standard Powerball play costs $2.

Players in participating jurisdictions can also add Power Play for an additional $1 per play.

Power Play can multiply eligible non-jackpot prizes depending on the multiplier selected for that night’s drawing. The jackpot itself is not multiplied by Power Play.
