How to play the Powerball

You can choose your lucky numbers on a ticket or let the lottery terminal select your numbers at random.
To win you must combine one of the 9 ways to win:
- 5 white balls + 1 red Powerball = main prize.
- 5 white balls = 1 million dollars.
- 4 white balls + 1 red Powerball = $50,000.
- 4 white balls = $100.
- 3 white balls + 1 red Powerball = $100.
- 3 white balls = $7.
- 2 white balls + 1 red Powerball = $7.
- 1 white ball + 1 red Powerball = $4.
- 1 red Powerball = $4.
There is a chance that the Power Play will increase your winnings by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x for an additional $1 per spin. Players can multiply non-jackpot winnings up to ten times if the jackpot is $150 million or less.
All prizes are fixed monetary amounts, except the Grand Prize. In California, prize payout amounts are pari-mutuel, meaning they are determined by sales and the number of winners.
