How to Play Powerball
The Powerball lottery is played by matching all five white balls and the red ball. Players must submit five different numbers ranging from 1 to 68 for the white balls and 1 number ranging from 1 to 25 for the red balls. Each Powerball ticket costs $2 and the PowerPlay option costs $1. Getting the PowerPlay add-on allows winners to increase their prizes but this is only applicable to non-jackpot winnings only.
