Saturday night’s Powerball game works the same way every time: players choose six numbers. including five white balls numbered 1 to 69 and one red Powerball numbered 1 to 26. Players can also add a “Power Play” for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes. The “Power Play” multiplier can multiply winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X. Those who prefer not to pick numbers by hand can use the “Quick Pick” option.
To win the jackpot, a ticket must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball. Powerball drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights, and if no one wins the jackpot, the cash prize keeps ticking up.
