How to Play the Powerball

For a chance to win, you'll need to visit a local retailer like a convenience store, gas station, or grocery store to purchase a $2 Powerball ticket. In select states, tickets are also available online.

Here's how to play: Pick six numbers in total on your ticket. You'll choose five white ball numbers ranging from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball number between 1 and 26.

For an extra dollar, you can add the “Power Play” to your ticket, which multiplies non-jackpot prize winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.

Alternatively, you can opt for a "Quick Pick," where the computer generates numbers for you.

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

Where Can You Buy Lottery Tickets?

You can purchase tickets in person at various locations, including gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores. Some airport terminals also sell lottery tickets.
