Powerball is a popular lottery game in the United States that is played in multiple states across the country.
The game was first introduced in 1992 and has since become one of the most well-known and widely played lotteries in the country.
Players must select five numbers from a set of 69 white balls and one number from a set of 26 red Powerballs to play the game.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292 million, making it one of the most difficult lotteries to win.
The minimum jackpot for Powerball is $40 million, and it increases by at least $10 million each time the jackpot is not won.
Players can choose to play Powerball by selecting their own numbers or by opting for a Quick Pick, which randomly generates numbers for them.
In addition to the jackpot, there are eight other prize tiers in Powerball, with prizes ranging from $4 for matching just the Powerball to $1 million for matching all five white balls.
Powerball drawings are held twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
Players can purchase Powerball tickets at authorized retailers in participating states or online through authorized lottery websites.
Powerball has generated billions of dollars in revenue for state lotteries, with a portion of the proceeds going towards funding education, infrastructure, and other public services.
