To get a chance to win the jackpot, a player must match the six numbers on their ticket to the drawn six-number combination. The five numbers need to be selected from 1 to 69 for the white balls, while the remaining number is selected from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.
To claim the jackpot prize, the winners will have options--they can either select their prize as an annuity or a lump-sum payment. The annuity guarantees the winner to receive 30 graduated payments over 29 years. The annual payments increase by 5% until the 30th and final payment. The 30 payments add up equal the value of the annuity.
The Powerball costs $2 per play. Powerball is available in 45 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
