How to play Powerball
To play Powerball you will need to buy a $2 ticket. You can purchase it at a variety of locations, including convenience stores, gas stations, supermarkets and more. Online tickets can also be purchased in some states.
Once you have your ticket, you will need to choose 6 white balls and 5 white balls from 1 to 69 and 1 red ball, with numbers 1 to 26. For an additional $1, you can add a power play option that increases the profits of all awards that are not major awards.
Power Play multipliers can increase profits at 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or up to 10x.
If the system prefers to choose, there is a quick pick option, and the computer generates a random number for the ticket. To win the main prize, you must carry over five white numbers in any order.
The Powerball Raffles take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturday nights. If no one wins the main prize, the boat continues to accumulate.
