What are the odds of winning the Powerball?
It’s understandable that some lottery players are tempted by the massive $461 million jackpot, but it’s important to note that the odds of winning Powerball’s top prize are slim.
- The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million.
- The overall odds (at all levels) of winning a Powerball prize are approximately 1 in 24.9 million.
To attend Powerball games, players can purchase tickets for $2 per game. The game requires players to choose five numbers from one to 69 for the white balls and one from one to 26 for the red Powerballs. Alternatively, players can choose to receive random numbers.
To win the Jackpot, it is necessary to match all the numbers on all five white balls and the red Powerball.
In addition to the grand prize, Powerball offers eight other ways to win based on the number of balls matched in non-jackpot levels.
Non-jackpot prizes offered range from $4 to $1 million. By paying an additional $1, you can choose to participate in the “Powerplay” which multiplies non-jackpot winnings by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times.
The 10X Powerplay option applies exclusively to jackpots worth $150 million or less. The game’s “Match 5” prize pool for the second level is limited to a maximum of $2 million if the Powerplay feature is used.
An additional add-on feature called “Double Play”, which gives players another chance to match their numbers after each Powerball drawing, is available in some jurisdictions for $1 per game.
