How to play Powerball
You have to pay $2 to play the Powerball.
For the white balls, pick five numbers from 1 to 69. For the red Powerball, pick one number from 1 to 26.
You can use a play slip to pick your lucky numbers, or you can let the lotto terminal pick them for you.
To win, match one of the nine ways:
- 5 white balls + 1 red Powerball = Grand prize.
- 5 white balls = $1 million.
- 4 white balls + 1 red Powerball = $50,000.
- 4 white balls = $100.
- 3 white balls + 1 red Powerball = $100.
- 3 white balls = $7.
- 2 white balls + 1 red Powerball = $7.
- 1 white ball + 1 red Powerball = $4.
- 1 red Powerball = $4.
For an extra $1 per play, the Power Play gives you a chance to see your wins multiply by two, three, four, five, or ten times. People who win less than the jackpot can increase their wins by up to 10 times. The jackpot must be less than $150 million.
Except for the grand prize, all of the gifts are set amounts of cash. In California, the amount of prizes given out is based on how many tickets were sold and how many wins there were.
