PowerBALL

It's America's Game! Since 1992, Powerball® has inspired the country with a chance to become a millionaire, all while raising $38 billion for public programs and services supported by U.S. lotteries. Powerball holds the world record for largest national lottery jackpot at $2.04 billion. The record prize was won by a single ticket in California on Nov. 7, 2022.

Powerball tickets are $2 per play. Tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. More than half of all proceeds from the sale of a Powerball ticket remain in the jurisdiction where the ticket was sold. Drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 pm ET from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. Drawings are also live streamed on Powerball.com, click HERE.

Players select five numbers between 1 and 69 and one Powerball number between 1 and 26.

The Powerball jackpot grows until its won. Players win a prize by matching one of the 9 ways to win. The jackpot is won by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.

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 prior to federal and jurisdictional taxes.

The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.

Powerball has two add-on features: Power Play® and Double Play®. Players can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times with the Power Play® option for an additional $1 per play. The Match 5 + Power Play prize is always $2 million. The 10X multiplier is only in play when the advertised jackpot is $150 million or less.

Players can play their Powerball numbers again in the Double Play® drawing for an additional $1 per play. Double Play offers a top cash prize of $10 million and eight lower-tier cash prizes. The Double Play drawing is held after every Powerball drawing on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Double Play is available for purchase in participating jurisdictions.
