How to Play Powerball

Players will need to select five white ball numbers that span out from one to 69. Then, players have to choose a single red Powerball number that ranges from one to 26.

Power Play is the most common add-on option to spice up your ticket, which multiplies your earnings by a given amount if you win a prize. Double play is the other addition, which uses the same exact numbers you have once again for another draw.

With Power Play, your current winnings could be multiplied by what is drawn from the multiplier, like 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X the amount. 10X is only used for prizes that fall short of the jackpot and million-dollar prize. If the jackpot climbs over $150 million, it is not available.

Winning the jackpot means you can take the prize in two ways. One by lump sum and the other by a 30-year annuity. The lump sum will have high taxes upfront versus taking a fixed amount each year.

Odds, Price, and Prizes for Powerball

The overall odds of winning a single prize for Powerball are one in 25. These are not great odds, which is likely why the jackpots continue to climb often for this game. However, purchasing an additional ticket is your best bet at maximum your odds.

The jackpot has ridiculously high odds of one in 292,201,338, and the million-dollar match for five white balls is odds of one in 11,688,054. It is interesting to see three straight million-dollar winners over the course of a few days win that prize.

The prizes range from $4 and up to the current jackpot, which is always growing after every drawing unless someone wins the jackpot. Each ticket will cost two dollars, but add-ons will make it cost a dollar more.
