US Powerball draws
The US Powerball lottery is one of the biggest lottery games in the world. It features nine ways to win the jackpot. The jackpot is worth at least $20 million and can reach up to $200 million. Powerball draws are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. The results are released shortly after the draws take place.
The Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 pm ET. To play, you must purchase a ticket on the day of the drawing. To enter, choose five numbers from one to 69 and one Powerball number from one to 26. If you’ve got lucky, add a Power Play to your play slip for an extra $1. This option will double your non-jackpot winnings.
The minimum bet for Powerball is $2. Players choose five numbers from 69 white balls and one number from 26 red Powerballs. The order in which the white balls are drawn is irrelevant. Tickets show the numbers in ascending order. If a winning number is not on the winning ticket, the player cannot use the Powerball to match the white numbers. To be sure you pick the right numbers, you can also use a terminal to pseudorandomly choose the numbers for you. These terminals have different names in each state.
