How to play Powerball: To play Powerball, players pay $1 and select five
white balls from the first set of 59 numbers plus a single red ball, the
Powerball, from a second set of 39 numbers. Players may select their own
numbers using a Powerball play slip, or they may opt for computer-selected
quick picks. Players must match all five numbers drawn plus the Powerball
number to win the jackpot. There also are eight additional ways for players
to win a cash prize.
Powerball features an option called PowerPlay. For an extra $1 Powerball play
(game), players can multiply their Powerball prizes by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times the
original prize amount for all prizes EXCEPT the jackpot. Prizes can multiply
up to $1 million.
Powerball tickets are sold in 32 participating jurisdictions - 30 states, the
District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
