How the Powerball lottery works
Powerball is a multi-state lottery game operated by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), allowing players across participating US jurisdictions to compete for prizes ranging from small cash awards to jackpots worth hundreds of millions of dollars. As the top prize grows, the game regularly attracts millions of ticket buyers.
To play, participants choose five numbers between 1 and 69, referred to as the white balls, along with one Powerball number from 1 to 26. During each official drawing, the winning combination is selected at random. Because every draw is conducted independently, previous winning numbers do not influence future results.
Powerball drawings are held three times a week: every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 pm Eastern Time.
