How to Play Powerball

To play, select six numbers: five white balls (1-69) and one red Powerball (1-26). Add a “Power Play” for $1 to increase non-jackpot prize winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X. You can also request a "Quick Pick" for computer-generated numbers.

Drawings occur on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. If there's no jackpot winner, the prize increases by millions.
