What are the odds of winning the Powerball?It’s understandable that some lottery players are attracted to the large jackpot, but it’s important to keep in mind that the chances of winning the top prize are extremely slim. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are about one in 292.2 million. The overall odds of winning a Powerball prize (across all tiers) are about one in 24.9.How do I win the Powerball jackpot?To play the Powerball game, players can buy a ticket for $2 per play. The game requires players to choose five numbers from one to 69 for the white balls, and one number from one to 26 for the red Powerball. Alternatively, players can choose to receive random numbers. To win the jackpot, all five white balls and the red Powerball must match. In addition to the jackpot, Powerball offers eight other ways to win based on the number of matched balls in the non-jackpot tiers. Non-jackpot prizes range from $4 to $1 million. By paying an additional $1, players can participate in “Powerplay” that increases non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four, five, or 10 times. According to Powerball, the 10X Powerplay option is only applicable to jackpots worth $150 million or less. Additionally, the game’s “Match 5” prize for the second-tier is capped at $2 million if the Powerplay feature is used. Another add-on feature called “Double Play,” which gives players another chance to match their numbers after each Powerball drawing, is available in some jurisdictions for $1 per play.
