FAQs Powerball

What are the Powerball lottery drawing days and timing?

Powerball Drawing days are Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, and the timing is at 11 PM EST. It is being conducted by MUS a non-profit organization, at Lottery Studio of Florida. Ticket sales cut off time is around 1 or 2 hours before the drawing occurs, Usually it's 10:00 PM EST, but it depends upon which jurisdiction you are.

Once three people won a jackpot in the same draw, and that has been a record Jackpot amount of $1.586 billion, and those three people shared the same amount in between. Usually, the original amount for a Jackpot is $40 million, but it increases by $10 million each draw till we don't have a jackpot winner.

What is PowerPlay?

PowerPlay option can be chosen by spending an additional $1. This option will multiply the winning amount by randomly drawn value between 2 to 5. But there are some restrictions. Here are the following.

  • The Jackpot amount doesn't get multiplied.
  • Matching five white balls prize amount will get multiplied by two only if you choose PowerPlay.
  • If the Jackpot prize is less than $150 million, then the 10X multiplier will get added to the multiplier draw list.

How much is the Powerball ticket price?

Currently, the ticket price is 2$ for each game. And 1$ extra if you want to choose a powerplay option to double your winning amount. We will talk about this option in detail further in this article.

The ticket price was 1$ when it started in 1992. And that remains unchanged till 2012. Then that many years it won't have the power play option. So that price was fixed for those 20 years. But in 2012, the lottery organization decided to increase the ticket price to 2$, and introduced a power play option that costs 1$ extra for each play if you choose.

Does order matter of chosen numbers?

The numbering order of five white balls doesn't matter at all. And the red ball number must be chosen separately.

So for the five white balls, let's suppose you have chosen 28, 12, 54, 34, 61 for your play. And when the drawing is going on, and the numbers come 54, 61, 12, 34, 28, then that doesn't mean you don't win. You won that game with 5 white balls. But for the Jackpot winning, you also need to guess the red ball number correct, and that is separate.

What is Multi-Draw?

Let's assume you have fixed numbers to play for some upcoming draws. And if the multi-draw option is not available, then you need to go to the retailer each time separately for the next draw.

Here Multi-Draw comes into play. You can choose numbers up to 26 consecutive draws. So you don't miss any game when you are busy someday. You can select the dates as per your choice. You will get only one ticket, and all the date combinations are going to mention in that.

What are the chances of winning in Powerball

One out of 24.9 persons wins at least a prize in Powerball. This probability remains the same irrespective of the Jackpot amount.

Winning at least a prize has a higher probability. But winning a bigger prize has a lesser probability. Probability keeps descending order as the winning amount increases with matching more matching numbers.

What is the annuity option, and why choose it?

There is an interesting option to how you get paid for the winning amount. That option is known as Prize as Annuity. In this, you will get paid for the upcoming 29 years. It means you will get your prize amount in 30 installments for the next 29 years. And each year you will get a 5% increase in your every payment. This 5% increase is due to the inflation rate of money.

You are free to choose this option or not.
