How to play Powerball
To purchase a $2 Powerball ticket, you’ll need to visit your local convenience store, gas station or grocery store—in some states, you can also purchase tickets online.
To play, you must select a total of six numbers to mark on your ticket. Five numbers are white balls and range from 1 to 69. The Powerball is red and one number is between 1 and 26.
If you want to increase your chances of winning, you can add a “Power Play” for $1, which increases winnings for all non-jackpot prizes. This addition can increase winnings by 2X, 3-fold, 4X, 5Xor 10X.
Players can also ask a cashier for a “quick pick,” in which the cashier gives you computer-generated numbers on a printed Powerball ticket.
The draws take place on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings. If there is no jackpot winner, the cash prize increases by millions.
