While winning the Powerball jackpot may seem like a dream come true, the odds are quite slim. In fact, there are 13 things more likely to happen to you than becoming an instant millionaire. So, if you’re feeling lucky, give it a shot, but don’t get your hopes up too high.
Curious about the prize distribution? Well, you might be surprised to know that you only need to match one number in Powerball to win a prize, although it must be the Powerball number itself, which is worth $4. For the entire prize chart, visit powerball.com.
On the topic of prizes, matching two numbers in Powerball won’t get you anywhere unless one of those numbers happens to be the Powerball. If you manage to match one of the five numbers and the Powerball, you’re still in for a $4 win. Again, powerball.com has the complete prize chart for your reference.
Now, if you’re wondering when the next Powerball drawing will take place, you’re in luck. Drawings are held three times per week, with the next one scheduled for approximately 10:59 p.m. ET on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. So, make sure to mark your calendars and grab your tickets for a chance at the jackpot.
For those unfamiliar with the game, a single Powerball ticket costs $2. You can add an additional $1 for Power Play, which gives you a chance to multiply all your winnings except for the jackpot. If you’re feeling extra lucky, you can also add the Double Play for an extra $1, which provides an additional chance to win $10 million.
While the Powerball clearly offers its players a chance at life-changing winnings, it’s worth noting that Mega Millions is also in the mix. In fact, the current Mega Millions jackpot stands at an impressive $137 million, with a cash option of $59.6 million. The winning numbers for the latest draw were yet to be announced, so players should keep an eye out for the results.
