- Powerball tickets cost $2 per play and are available in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with an optional $1 Power Play to multiply non-jackpot prizes.
- To win the jackpot, players must match five white-ball numbers (1-69) and one red Powerball number (1-26); if no winner emerges, the jackpot continues to grow with each drawing.
