To play Powerball, you need to select five numbers between 1 and 69 for the white balls and one number between 1 and 26 for the red Powerball. You can choose your numbers on a play slip or let the lottery terminal randomly pick your numbers. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, and the odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9.

There is no magic formula to pick the winning numbers, and there is no difference in your chances of winning whether you choose your own numbers or opt for a Quick Pick. However, some numbers have been drawn more frequently than others in the past. For example, the most frequently drawn white ball numbers are 14, 18, 23, 25, and 2, while the most frequently drawn red Powerball numbers are 10 and 15.

In summary, you can pick any number between 1 and 69 for the white balls and any number between 1 and 26 for the red Powerball to play Powerball. While there is no guaranteed way to win, you can consider the most frequently drawn numbers when making your selection.
