It operates in all US states except five, as well as areas including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.

It replaced the Lotto * America lottery in 1992, becoming the first lottery game to use two drums to draw the winners. One drum is used for white balls and a red "Power" ball, which gives the lottery its name.

Powerball offers a jackpot, which goes up every time there is a draw when no winning jackpot ticket is sold, as well as a variety of small cash prizes.

How Do You Play Powerball?

Powerball is a two-drum lottery game. One drum holds 69 white balls, and the other contains 26 red balls. Only one red ball will be issued, and that red ball is called a Powerball.

When you buy your ticket, you choose five numbers, which will be taken from the first container with white balls, and one Powerball number. The winning Powerball numbers will be taken from the second box with the red balls.

You can choose your Powerball numbers or use Quick Pick, which draws your numbers randomly.

How Powerball Drawings Works

Powerball drawings are held three times a week. The winners were drawn Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday night at 10:59 PM Eastern Time. Drawings were made at the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee, Florida. Winning numbers are announced on television, on the Powerball website, in newspapers, and on the Internet.

To win the jackpot, players must carefully match all five white balls, as well as the red Powerball.

There is no guarantee that the jackpot will be awarded in every draw. If no one picks six winning numbers, the jackpot rolls over to the next drawing and the value goes up.

This usually limits the value of the jackpot. As jackpot prices increase, more and more people are buying tickets, so a larger percentage of the number of possible combinations is sold. In the end, it is almost impossible for a drawing to take place without a winner.
