How to play PowerBall

PowerBall tickets cost $ 2 per piece and sold in 45 states, as well as Washington, DC, Puerto Rico and Virgin Vergin. You can buy it from local stores, gas stations, groceries, some airport stations, and even online in some states such as Arizona, Massachusetts and New York.

After that, you can choose six numbers on your ticket – white balls, amounted to 1 to 69 and one red state of 1 to 26. You have to use a black pen, blue or pencil to do so. If you can’t choose them yourself, you can request a “PowerBall Ticket”, and the computer will create random numbers for you.

Then you hand them over to run retail stores or lottery selling machines to receive a ticket, all of which have been appointed to the results.

Come on Monday night, you can set it on the live broadcast on the official lottery site to watch the numbers rolling. If you match all the five white balls in any arrangement, and Red PowerBall, you win the mega prize.

People not only play to win the grand prize

The winning numbers were 3-18-22-27-33 and PowerBall 17, but no winner match all these numbers to strike the grand prize.

But if you do not win the grand prize on Monday, you can still win smaller prizes. For these, some people also add “power playing”, an additional double for one dollar, which can increase your profits other than jackpot anywhere from 2x to 10x.

On Saturday night, there were three $ 2 million winners in Colorado, Indiana, New Hampsheer, and nine million dollars in Florida, Contecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and California.

Why has winning the grand prize very big?

There are a number of factors in the estimated value of the ticket price. Ultimately, they are determined by the basic gambling rules, and the number of tickets purchased at the country level. The higher the purchased tickets, the higher the salaries of winning the grand prize, but also the chances of winning.

PowerBall’s winning award possibilities are very low. It also raises the price. When the award winning does not match any ticket, the prize increases for the next fee as more people continue to buy tickets.

If no ticket in all six numbers match Monday, the Grand Prix will win again with the continuation of the fortieth drawing on Wednesday night.

The tallest race ever won the Grand Prix was 42 consecutive draws, which ended with his victory of $ 1.326 billion, Oregon player on April 6, 2024.
