How likely is it that someone will win the Powerball jackpot?
The Powerball jackpot increases in accordance with player interest and game sales, but the likelihood of winning the top reward remains constant at 1 in 292.2 million.

Every winning ticket needs to be used in the state where it was purchased.
What is Powerball?
Choose five numbers between 1 and 69 for the white balls, and then choose one number for the red Powerball between 1 and 26. Select the numbers on a play slip or let the lottery machine choose them at random.
For an extra $1, you may add the Power Play function, which multiplies non-jackpot winnings by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times. Each drawing's multiplier number is chosen at random.
The Match 5 payout with Power Play is always $2 million, but the 10-times multiplier only applies when the advertised jackpot annuity is $150 million or less.
