As previously mentioned, the current Powerball jackpot is officially the third largest in the game’s multi-decade history. Below, you can check out the five biggest jackpots ever:
To play the Powerball, you must begin by either visiting the Pennsylvania Lottery website or by heading to a local lottery retailer (i.e., grocery store, gas station, convenience store, etc.).
Then, choose five numbers from 1 to 69 and one number from 1 to 26, which will be your Powerball selection. Alternatively, you may allow for the terminal to randomly select your numbers via the Quick Pick tool.
A standard Powerball ticket costs $2, but you always have the opportunity to participate in the Power Play add-on feature for an additional $1 per entry. In doing so, you will give yourself the chance to increase any non-jackpot prize that you may receive.
Prior to the regular Powerball drawing, a separate number (2, 3, 4, 5, or 10) will be drawn—which is the Power Play number. Any prize that you win that isn’t the jackpot will be multiplied by the Power Play number that was drawn.
Reminder, the current Powerball jackpot of $1.2 billion is a historic figure. If you wish to enter for a chance at winning that prize you must purchase your ticket(s) ahead of the 9:59 p.m. ET cut-off on Wednesday evening.
