How to Play Powerball
Powerball tickets are available for $2 each in 45 states, alongside the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets can be purchased at various locations, including convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores. Some states also allow online purchases depending on local regulations.
To participate, players must select six numbers: five white balls, which are numbered from 1 to 69, and one red Powerball, ranging from 1 to 26. For an additional $1, players can opt for the “Power Play” feature, which increases winnings for non-jackpot prizes. Potential multipliers include 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even 10X.
For those who prefer ease, a “Quick Pick” option is available, generating random numbers for the ticket. To win the jackpot, all five white balls must be matched in any order along with the red Powerball. Powerball drawings occur every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday night, with the jackpot increasing if no one wins.
Eligibility to Play Powerball
Interestingly, you do not need to be a U.S. citizen or resident to play Powerball. Anyone can purchase tickets from an authorized retailer in the participating states and territories, provided they meet the minimum age requirement, typically 18 years.
