The Powerball lottery odds include multiple levels of prizes for matching the winning numbers. Here's how to play Powerball explained.
The overall odds of winning something after buying a $2 ticket are just shy of 1 in 25 — 24.87 to be exact. If you spend an extra $1 to exercise the Power Play option, you can double, triple, quadruple or, on rare occasions, quintuple your winnings on non-jackpot prizes.
These are the 10 largest lottery jackpots in U.S. history as of Nov. 4, 2022. The Powerball jackpot for Saturday night, Nov. 5, could grow even higher, depending on ticket sales.A ticket that matches four numbers from the white ball drawn is tantalizing close to winning serious money, but is also worth only $100. It’s about a 1 in 36,525 shot to get even that lucky, though.
