How do you win the Powerball lottery?
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. Players must match five main numbers plus the Powerball number to win the top prize.
The game offers nine ways to win, depending on how many numbers you match and whether you match the Powerball. The second prize is $1 million for matching all five numbers without the Powerball. Smaller prizes include $50,000 for matching four numbers plus the Powerball and $4 for matching only the Powerball number.
When is the Powerball drawing?
Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Tickets cost $2 and are available in 45 states plus the District of Columbia.
This is already the fifth major Powerball jackpot in 2025. Four jackpots have been won so far this year—in January, March, April, and May. The largest so far was the $515 million prize from March 29, while the last jackpot was $204.5 million, won in California in May.
What is the Power Play option in Powerball?
The Power Play multiplier can boost non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or even 10x (when the jackpot is $150 million or less). For example, a $50,000 prize could increase to $500,000 with a 10x multiplier. However, the Power Play does not apply to the jackpot amount.
