How to play the Powerball

Head to your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store to grab a $2 Powerball ticket. In some states, you can even buy them online. Pick six numbers: five white balls (1-69) and one red Powerball (1-26). Want to up your game? Add a “Power Play” for $1 to multiply non-jackpot winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X. Too lazy to pick? Ask for a "Quick Pick" and let the computer do the work.

Drawings are on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. No winner? Jackpot grows by millions!
