How to play the Powerball

To purchase a $2 Powerball ticket, you'll need to visit your local supermarket, gas station or convenience store – and in a few states you can purchase tickets online.

To play, you must select a total of six numbers to mark on your ticket. Five numbers are white balls ranging 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 multiply winnings 2X, 3X, 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 drawings take place on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings. If there is no jackpot winner, the cash prize increases by millions.
