How to play Powerball

To play Powerball, you have to buy a ticket for $2. You can do this at a variety of locations, including your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store. In some states, Powerball tickets can be bought online.

Once you have your ticket, you need to pick six numbers. Five of them will be white balls with numbers from 1 to 69. The red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26. People can also add a “Power Play” for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes.

The “Power Play” multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.

If you are feeling unlucky or want the computer to do the work for you, the “Quick Pick” option is available, where computer-generated numbers will be printed on a Powerball ticket. To win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.

If no one wins the jackpot for a given drawing, the cash prize will continue to tick up.

How to win at Powerball

To win, match one of the nine ways to win:

• 5 white balls + 1 red Powerball = Grand prize.

• 5 white balls = $1 million.

• 4 white balls + 1 red Powerball = $50,000.
