How to Play Powerball
Playing Powerball is simple. Purchase a $2 ticket at local convenience stores, gas stations, or grocery stores. Some states also offer online purchases. To play, pick six numbers in total: five white balls ranging from numbers 1 to 69 and one red Powerball number between 1 and 26. Players can also add “Power Play” for an additional $1 to increase non-jackpot winnings, which multiplies winnings by up to ten times. For those who prefer not to choose their own numbers, a “Quick Pick” option is available for computer-generated numbers.
Drawing Schedule
Powerball drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. If there is no jackpot winner, the cash prize increases by millions. This schedule ensures that players have multiple opportunities each week to try their luck and potentially win big.
