Did my numbers ever win Powerball®?
How to play Powerball®
Powerball® is a multi-state jackpot game. Drawings are held Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. During the drawing, six numbers are drawn: five white ball numbers and the red Powerball® number. Matching all six numbers wins the jackpot. There are eight other ways to match and win prizes up to $1 million. Each play costs $2. For an additional $1, players can purchase PowerPlay® to multiply all non-jackpot prizes, excluding the Match 5 + 0 prize, by 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, or other promotional number selected.
How to play
For an extra $1, your Powerball® numbers get an additional chance to win up to $10,000,000! A Double Play® drawing will be held after each scheduled Powerball® drawing and offers an additional chance to match an additional set of numbers drawn. PowerPlay® does not apply to Double Play®.
1 Pick your numbers
Select five different numbers (white balls) from 1 to 69 in the left play area and select one “POWERBALL®” (red ball) number from 1 to 26 in the right play area of the play slip. Use one panel (PLAY A - PLAY E) for each desired play. Each play costs $2.
2 Quick Pick
If you prefer having any or all of your numbers selected at random by the terminal, mark the “QUICK PICK” box for each play. All plays and play options selected on the play slip will be valid for the specified draw only.
3 PowerPlay®
Marking the ”POWERPLAY® OPTION” increases the cost of each play to $3. If you purchase “PowerPlay®” and win a prize, your prize, excluding the jackpot and Match 5 + 0 prize, will automatically be multiplied by the PowerPlay® number of 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, or other promotional number. Purchase PowerPlay® and match 5 white balls to win $2 MILLION. When the estimated jackpot is $150 MILLION or less, a “x10” PowerPlay® multiplier will be available. All non-jackpot prizes, including the match five white balls prize, may be reduced if claims exceed the available prize fund.
4 Double Play®
Choosing DOUBLE PLAY® adds $1 per play. The DOUBLE PLAY® drawing will be held after the scheduled POWERBALL® drawing and offers an additional chance to match an additional set of numbers drawn to win up to $10,000,000.
5 Multi-draws
Play up to 30 consecutive draws by marking the appropriate box under “MULTI-DRAW OPTION.” Each consecutive draw will cost $2 or $3 per draw with the PowerPlay® option. NOTE: Multi-draw selections will be consecutive from the draw date requested.
6 Sign the Back of the Ticket
Upon purchase, SIGN the ticket back and SECURE your ticket. Check your selections to make sure they are correct. Player is solely responsible for verifying all selections on the ticket. PRINTED POWERBALL® TICKETS CANNOT BE CANCELED.
DO NOT ERASE. If you make an error, mark the "VOID PLAY" box over the selected play.

*Game odds shown above are rounded to the nearest whole number. The odds of matching numbers with Powerball® and Double Play® are the same, but prize amounts differ.
**If you win a non-jackpot prize, the purchase of PowerPlay® multiplies your prize by 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 or other promotional number, except the PowerPlay® Match 5 + 0 prize which will remain at $2 million regardless of multiplier. PowerPlay® multiplier odds may vary. See in-store information or sceducationlottery.com for additional details.
***The advertised estimated Jackpot Prize for Powerball® is based upon 30 annual installments, not a lump sum payment. A Powerball® winner may elect a “Cash” or an “Annuity” option after a claim is filed. The $10,000,000 Jackpot Prize for Double Play® is a “Cash” option only. If there is more than one winning jackpot play, the jackpot amount will be divided equally based upon the number of winning plays from all participating lotteries. For any draw, all prizes may be reduced as provided in the game rules.
