How to Play
Picking Your Numbers
Choose 5 white balls from 1–69 and 1 red Powerball from 1–26. You can use a play slip or let the terminal Quick Pick for you. Tickets cost $2 per play.
Match all 5 white balls plus the Powerball to win the jackpot. There are 9 ways to win. The jackpot starts at $20 million and grows until someone wins.
Power Play® & Double Play®
Add Power Play for $1 more to multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, or 10× (10× only available when jackpot is under $150M). The $1 million Match-5 prize doubles to $2 million with Power Play.
Double Play (available in select states for $1 extra) gives you a second chance to match your numbers in a separate drawing with prizes up to $10 million.
Jackpot winners choose a 30-payment annuity (increasing 5%/year) or a lump-sum cash option. Both are before federal and state taxes.
