What Are the Powerball Winning Odds?
Even though the $196 million jackpot might be alluring, it’s important to realize that your chances of winning Powerball’s top reward are quite low—roughly 1 in 292.2 million. All Powerball prizes have odds of winning that total of roughly 1 in 24.9.
Players can choose five numbers from one to 69 for the white balls and one number from one to 26 for the red Powerball by purchasing a $2 ticket to play Powerball. Players also have the option of selecting random numbers.
Players must match the red Powerball and all five white ball numbers in order to win the jackpot. In addition to the main prize, Powerball offers eight additional opportunities to win, with rewards ranging from $4 to $1 million, depending on the number of matched balls in the non-jackpot levels.
Powerplay and Added Functionalities
Players can choose to use the “Powerplay” option, which multiplies non-jackpot winnings by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times, for an additional $1. The 10X Powerplay can only be used on jackpots that are $150 million or less. Additionally, the game offers “Double Play,” which costs $1 per play in some jurisdictions and gives players another chance to match their numbers following each Powerball drawing.
Where Do Lottery Tickets Get Sold?
Gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and certain airport terminals are places where tickets can be bought in person. Furthermore, online ticket orders are available in a number of U.S. states through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network.
