What are the chances of winning the Powerball?
It’s understandable that some lottery players are attracted to the massive $638 million jackpot, but it’s essential to keep in mind that the odds of winning the Powerball top prize are extremely slim.
- The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million.
- The overall odds of winning a Powerball prize (all levels combined) are approximately 1 in 24.9.
To participate in the Powerball game, players can purchase a ticket for $2 per game. The game asks players to choose five numbers from one to 69 for the white balls and one number from one to 26 for the red Powerball. Alternatively, players can choose to receive random numbers.
To win the jackpot, it is necessary to match the numbers of the 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 matching balls in non-jackpot levels.
The non-jackpot prizes offered range from $4 million to $1 million. By paying an additional $1, you can choose to participate in the “Powerplay” which increases non-jackpot winnings by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times.
According to Powerball, the 10X Powerplay option is exclusively applicable to jackpots worth $150 million or less. Additionally, the game’s “Match 5” prize 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 spin.
