What are the odds of winning the $1.9 billion Powerball jackpot? Here’s everything you need to know about the lottery drawing.
There’s a record $1.9 billion jackpot at stake in Monday night’s drawing. Here’s what you need to know if you’re going to play, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which helps oversee the game.
How does Powerball work? It costs $2 to play per ticket. To win the jackpot, you must match five numbers between 1-69 and then separately match the Powerball number , which is between 1-26. You can pick the numbers yourself, but you can also ask for a quick-pick ticket in which the numbers are generated for you.
What are the odds of winning the jackpot? You’re looking at some pretty tall odds — 1 in 292.2 million. But the chance of winning any prize is much better — 1 in 24.9. When does the drawing take place? The next Powerball drawing will take place Monday at 10:59 p.m. EST.
