Fancy trying your luck? Purchasing a Powerball ticket is as simple as visiting a local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store – and in some states, you even have the option to purchase tickets online. The process involves choosing six numbers: five white balls ranging from 1 to 69 and one Powerball, which is a number ranging from 1 to 26.
For those looking to boost their shot at the prize, the “Power Play” can be added for an additional $1, elevating the winnings for all non-jackpot prizes. This multiplier effect can amplify your winnings by 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 10 times the original amount depending on the draw.
If you prefer not to rely on choosing your own numbers, simply ask for a “Quick Pick” at the counter. A cashier will then provide you with a ticket featuring randomly generated numbers.
The Powerball draws are a thrice-weekly occurrence, lighting up the hopes of players on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. Should there be no jackpot winner, the cash prize increases by several millions each time.
Tickets are widely accessible. Apart from purchasing them at gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores, some airport terminals offer them too.
For added convenience, tickets can also be secured online through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network, in certain U.S. states and territories.
