How to Play Powerball
Powerball drawings are held three times a week – Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Monday drawings were added in 2021, giving you more chances to win! Remember, ticket purchase deadlines vary by state, so don’t wait until the last minute. For example, New Jersey’s deadline is 9:59 p.m., while New York’s is 10 p.m. You can find a complete list of deadlines by state on the Powerball website.
Each ticket costs $2, and you can add the Power Play for an extra $1. The Power Play can multiply your winnings up to five times the original prize (excluding the jackpot and Match 5). A 10x Power Play is also possible when the jackpot is less than $150 million.
To play, select five numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball. Or, let the lottery machine pick random numbers for you with a Quick Pick ticket.
Prize Payouts & Where to Buy
Prizes range from $4 for matching the Powerball to $1 million for matching all five white balls (except in California), and the grand prize for matching all six numbers! You can view all prize payouts on the Powerball website.
