Powerball Jackpot: How to Play, Odds of Winning, and Where to Play
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

The next Powerball jackpot drawing takes place at 11 p.m. ET on Wednesday Dec. 13. The estimated jackpot now stands at $500 million, with a cash value of $240.7 million.
How to play Powerball
A regular Powerball ticket costs $2. To play, one must pick five numbers from 1 to 69 and a Powerball number from 1 to 26.
Where can you play Powerball?
Currently, the following states, territories and federal districts participate in Powerball: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
To win the jackpot, the six numbers you select must be those drawn. For those who correctly selected some but not all the numbers, smaller prizes are available.
How much can you win in the next jackpot?
- Five numbers + Powerball: jackpot
- Five numbers: $1m
- Four numbers + Powerball: $50,000
- Four numbers: $100
- Three numbers + Powerball: $100
- Three numbers: $7
- Two numbers + Powerball: $7
- One number + Powerball: $4
- Powerball: $4
Power Play, Double Play
For an extra $1, you can add what’s called a Power Play. This multiplies winnings by two, three, four, five or 10, depending on the multiplier number picked out of the hat before the drawing takes place.
However, Power Play isn’t applied to the jackpot, and the multiplier is never higher than two if you win the $1m second prize.
In some states – Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Washington – you can also pay $1 for a so-called Double Play. This option sees players’ numbers added to a second draw following the Powerball draw, with a maximum cash prize of $10m.
Why are there two jackpot figures?
Powerball jackpot winners have the option to receive their winnings in a lump sum or spread out over 29 years through annual payments.
If they opt for the latter, known as the ‘annuity option,’ they get the jackpot in full, in steadily rising payouts.
If they go for the lump sum, they get the smaller ‘cash value’ figure.
Explaining the difference between the two jackpot amounts, the Powerball organizers say: “The annuity is invested in government bonds over 29 years, allowing payments to increase by 5% each year.”
Remember that winnings are pre-tax.
What are the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot?
According to Lottery USAa single ticket has a one in 292,201,338 chance of matching five numbers and the Powerball. Your odds of getting five numbers without the Powerball are 11,688,053.52 to one.

The Impact of Terry Gou’s Potential Support on Hou Youyi’s Campaign: Latest Updates and Analysis

Reporter Chen Yijie/Reporting from Taipei
Is Terry Gou expected to stand up? Supporting General Guo to accompany the street sweepers, Hou Youyi shouted to Guo: He hopes to return to the team to complete the political party rotation.
Kuomintang presidential candidate Hou Youyi went to Penghu to vote for votes this morning, and was accompanied by Lin Bingkun, a former legislator in Penghu and former operator of Hon Hai founder Terry Gou when he was running for the election. Former Legislative Yuan Wang Jinping yesterday took action to integrate the pro-Guo faction. Former Yunlin County Magistrate Zhang Rongwei believes that Gou will eventually support Hou and will have the opportunity to support Hou. In this regard, Hou Youyi said today (13th) that he was very grateful to Wang Jinping for serving as the president of the support association. He immediately raised his voice and brought together many good friends who hoped that the mainstream public opinion parties would rotate. He hoped that Guo Dong would return to the team and contribute to Political parties rotate, and everyone must work hard to protect the peace of the Republic of China.
Hou Youyi went to Penghu today to pray for votes and accept joint interviews from the media. Regarding how to consolidate the land war in the future, Hou said that Penghu’s tourism and medical resources, transportation development, and education development all need serious attention. He will go to Kaohsiung following visiting Penghu. He is a child from the south. He and the south are like a family and have deep feelings. , returning to the south is like going home. He knows best what is needed at home. Not only does the north, central, and south of Taiwan need to be taken care of, but the whole of Taiwan also needs to be taken care of. He works step by step, working hard with the people in the south, and turning his hometown into a better place. It is his greatest wish to develop more and the whole of Taiwan. In the future, he will go to the southern part of the country to sweep the streets with his team and hold promotional activities one following another to let everyone know what Hou Youyi wants to do for Taiwan. He cares regarding safety first, supports young people secondly, and gets a better salary. Gao and No. 3 are fighting fraud and the public security is extremely bad. He will tell everyone one by one so that Taiwan can have political changes.
In addition, Hou Youyi proposed the tutoring policy yesterday, and the National Federation of Teachers Unions (All-China Federation of Teachers Unions) said that schools have the longest school hours in the world, and schools are supplements, not substitutes. Hou Youyi said that there are too many sandwich families in Taiwan. There is an elder and a younger child, and two couples have to go to work. It is really hard to take care of the children. Where will the children go following school? This is the biggest difficulty. Hasn’t the DPP government seen this? ? The average following-school care in the world is 30%, but only 15% in Taiwan. Children can wait at school with peace of mind, go home following work, and have a warm family life. Parents can work hard and take care of their elders with peace of mind. We must be considerate of the voices of many parents. , teachers can provide assistance in schools, and they adopt public-private cooperation. Private civil organizations are certified to meet the teaching quality and will not increase the burden on teachers.
