The Powerball is a lottery game in which players select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. There are nine different ways to win Powerball prizes in every draw, based on how many numbers you match. The eight prizes below the jackpot are fixed amounts, so for these prizes, there is a guaranteed payout regardless of how many winning players there are. The Powerball prize chart shows how many numbers you need to match to win the different prizes and the odds of winning each. The Powerball jackpot 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.

Here are the payouts for matching different numbers in the Powerball game:

• 1 number plus the Powerball: $4
• 2 numbers plus the Powerball: $7
• 3 numbers: $7
• 3 numbers plus the Powerball: $100
• 4 numbers: $100
• 4 numbers plus the Powerball: $50,000
• 5 numbers: $1,000,000
• 5 numbers plus the Powerball: Jackpot

For a small additional fee, players can opt to use the Power Play option, which will increase 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. The Power Play number is the same for all players and is available in all territories that offer Powerball, with the exception of California.
