How to play Powerball
Powerball costs $2 per play. In states like Idaho and Montana, it’s bundled with Power Play for a minimum purchase price of $3 per play.
Players pick five numbers (or you can have them chosen randomly) between 1 and 69 for the white balls, then select one number between 1 and 26 for the red Powerball.
The “Power Play” multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
The Powerball jackpot continues to grow until someone wins. Players win a prize by matching one of nine ways to win. Players can only win the full jackpot by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.
Jackpot winners may choose to receive their prize as an annuity, paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or a lump-sum payment. Both advertised prize options are before state, local, and/or federal taxes.
