Powerball jackpot: How much, when is next drawing and past winning numbers
" The best things in life are free.
" But you can give them to the birds and bees.
" I need money. That's what I want." - Barrett Strong
Little known fact I: "Money (That's what I want)" was written by Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr. and Janie Bradford, sung by Strong and released in 1959. It wasn't written by a member of the Beatles, who covered the song and released it in November, 1963.
Little known fact II: You can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket - or no one buys a ticket for you.

The Powerball jackpot grows until it is won. As mentioned, to win the grand prize, you must match all 5 white ball numbers and the red Powerball.
If you correctly pick all the white balls but miss the red Powerball, you're guaranteed $1 million and can win $2 million if the Power Play is 2x through 10x.
Four correct white balls and the red Powerball = $50,000 multiplied by the Power Play multiplier. ( See: Powerball prize chart).
WHAT IS THE POWER PLAY?
An additional $1 per play activates the Power Play feature, which multiplies prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 times.
The multiplier number is randomly selected before each drawing.
The 10x multiplier is only in play when the jackpot annuity is $150 million or less.
