Powerball Rules

Choose five numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls, then one number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball. Choose the numbers on a play slip or let the lottery terminal choose them at random.

For an extra $1, use the Power Play option to multiply non-jackpot payouts by two, three, four, five, or ten times. Before each drawing, the multiplier number is chosen at random.

The 10-times multiplier is active only when the announced jackpot annuity is less than $150 million, and the Match 5 prize with Power Play is always $2 million.
