How to play Powerball
To play Powerball you will need to buy a ticket for $2. This can be done in a variety of places, including local convenience stores, gas stations, and even grocery stores. In some states, Powerball tickets can be purchased online.
Once you have your ticket, you will need to select six numbers. Five of these are white balls with numbers 1 to 69. Red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26. People can also add “Power Play” for $1.
The “Power Play” multiplier can be multiplied by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x on the prize.
If you feel unlucky or want your computer to do your job, the “quick pick” option is available, where computer-generated numbers are printed on your Powerball ticket. To win a jackpot, players must match all five white balls with any order and Red Powerball.
The Powerball painting takes place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturday nights. If no one wins the jackpot, the prize money will continue to be engraved.
