What You Need to Know About Powerball
Powerball is one of the most iconic lottery games in the United States. Draws take place three times a week - every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 PM ET. Players choose five numbers from 1 to 69 plus one Powerball number from 1 to 26. To win the jackpot, you’ll need to match all six. But there are nine prize tiers in total, so there are plenty of chances to take home something even if you don’t land the top prize.
How to Win Powerball
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338, but smaller prizes are much easier to hit. For example, the odds of winning $4 by matching just the Powerball are 1 in 38. By adding the Power Play option for an extra $1 per play, non-jackpot prizes can be multiplied up to 10 times, boosting potential winnings.
Many jackpot winners have relied on Quick Picks, while others stick to their own regular sets of numbers. There’s no guaranteed system, but consistency and participation are key if you hope to land the life-changing top prize.
