The payouts for Powerball depend on the number of matches and whether the Power Play option was selected. The overall odds of winning a Powerball prize are approximately 1 in 24.9. The following is a breakdown of the payouts for Powerball:

  • Match all 5 white numbers plus the Powerball: Jackpot, which starts at $20 million and increases every time it is not won. If there are multiple winners of the jackpot, it will be shared equally between them.

  • Match all 5 white numbers only: $1 million.

  • Match 4 out of 5 white numbers plus the Powerball: $50,000.

  • Match 4 white numbers only: $100.

  • Match 3 white numbers plus the Powerball: $100.

  • Match 3 white numbers only: $7.

  • Match 2 white numbers plus the Powerball: $7.

  • Match 1 white number plus the Powerball: $4.

  • Match the Powerball only: $4.

The Power Play option can be added for an additional fee, which increases the prize payout for any non-jackpot win by a multiple of 2, 3, 4, or 5 (or possibly 10 when the estimated jackpot is less than $150 million) depending on which Power Play number is drawn. Match 5 winnings are always doubled to $2 million with the Power Play option, no matter which Power Play number is drawn. The Power Play option does not apply to prizes won in Double Play drawings.
