Powerball is a game of chance, so there’s no way to increase your odds of winning. However, we do have some tips to help you make the most of your Powerball experience.
Playing Powerball is relatively simple. Select 5 white ball numbers between 1 and 69 (no repeats) and a single red Powerball number between 1 and 26. This is called a “line,” which simply means an entry. Each one costs $2, though adding Power Play costs an additional $1 per line.
Matching all five white balls and the red Powerball wins the player the top jackpot.
Power Play is an add-on option for Powerball tickets. For an extra $1 per line, you can add it to your ticket. Power Play multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x. The 10x multiplier only becomes available when the jackpot is less than $150 million.
Even if you don’t win the jackpot, Power Play can maximize the value of any win you’re lucky enough to secure in Powerball.
Some players like to form lottery clubs and play as a single unit. This can be a great way to play the Michigan Lottery without breaking the bank. Find a few friends, have each of them (including yourself) select one line, and buy your tickets. Agree to split any winnings evenly between you.
The Michigan Lottery app and website are incredibly convenient. They let you play from anywhere in the state, even if you’re on the go or out with friends. It’s hard to beat the convenience of mobile play.
In-store purchases of Powerball tickets have one distinct advantage: Double Play. This option is only available when purchasing tickets at a physical location selling lottery tickets in Michigan. For an extra $1 per panel, you can add Double Play to your ticket, which enters your numbers into a second-chance drawing. The Double Play drawing happens about 30-40 minutes following the core Powerball drawing, and the top prize for matching all five white balls plus the Powerball is $10 million.
Powerball is one of hundreds of games offered by the Michigan Lottery. Here are a few others you can enjoy.
Mega Millions is very similar to the Powerball, except you pick from white ball numbers between 1 and 70, then a single gold Mega Ball between 1 and 25. The jackpots often reach similar heights to the Powerball.
Michigan Lottery offers 8 different keno games. Seven of them are available online, while the standard “Keno” game is only available at participating retailers.
Keno is also available at DraftKings online casino in Michigan.
The Michigan Lottery offers 312 instant games, including popular titles such as Prize Chickens, Buffalo Roundup, Summer Bucks, and Big Cash Catch.
The way these games work is different depending on which one you play. Some work like scratch-off tickets while others work like slots that you spin once. Jackpots and prize amounts vary as well.
Lucky For Life is a draw game that offers a top prize of $1,000 a day for life and a second prize of $25,000 a year for life. Tickets cost $2 apiece, and the game functions a lot like Powerball or Mega Millions. You pick five white balls (between 1 and 48) and a single lucky ball (between 1 and 18). Matching them all wins you the grand prize. Matching five white balls wins the second prize.
