Powerball

Powerball is a massively popular lottery game that is offered to players in 43 states and two jurisdictions in the United States of America. The Powerball Lottery name is derived from the fact that, in order to win the jackpot, players need to match not only the five main numbers from the range 1 to 59, but also the red Powerball number from the range 1 to 35. The Powerball Lottery jackpot is always worth at least $40 million, but rollovers can help it to climb even higher with the biggest jackpot on record a huge US$590.5 million won by a single ticket purchased in Florida in May 2013!

The latest Powerball Lottery result is given below, but to see past results and a statistical analysis please look at any of the State results that play Powerball such as the New Jersey Lottery Results.

Buying Powerball Lottery Tickets

There are two Powerball lottery games every week, one on Wednesday and the other on Friday. Purchasing a single ticket entitles the player to enter one line of numbers (five main numbers and a Powerball number) and there are nine ways to win a prize. The numbers required to win the various Powerball lottery prizes, and the odds of winning in each case, are as shown in the table below:

Play Powerball Online

Numbers Matched	Odds of Winning	Prize
5 main numbers + Powerball	1 in 175,223,510	Jackpot
5 main numbers	1 in 5,153,632.64	$1 million
4 main numbers + Powerball	1 in 648,975.96	$10,000
4 main numbers	1 in 19,087.52	$100
3 main numbers + Powerball	1 in 12,244.82	$100
3 main numbers	1 in 360.14	$7
2 main numbers + Powerball	1 in 706.43	$7
1 main number + Powerball	1 in 110.81	$4
Powerball only	1 in 55.40	$4

The overall odds of winning any of the Powerball lottery prizes are approximately 1 in 31.84, so although winning the jackpot outright is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, winning one of the more modest prizes is something that regular players can, with a little luck, celebrate again and again.

Powerball lottery players who want to multiply any non-jackpot prize that they win can try and do so by paying a little extra for a Power Play entry. A Power Play number ( in the range 2 to 5) is drawn and anyone who has won a non-jackpot Powerball prize and exercised the Power Play option will have their prize increased as per the table below:

Numbers Matched	Prize
5 main numbers + Powerball	Jackpot - amount does not change
5 main numbers	$2 million
4 main numbers + Powerball	$40,000
4 main numbers	$200
3 main numbers + Powerball	$200
3 main numbers	$14
2 main numbers + Powerball	$14
1 main number + Powerball	$12
Powerball only	$12
