History

The first Powerball drawing was held on April 22, 1992. The game became the most popular lottery in the USA and is now available in 44 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.

Powerball was the first game to use two drums, one for white balls and one for the red Powerball. This design changed the odds and helped make the game more attractive and profitable.

Odds and Probabilities

Basic Game Structure

To play, you select five numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball. When the balls are drawn, your matches determine your prize.

Ball typeRangeCount chosen
White balls1 to 695 numbers
Red Powerball1 to 261 number

Prizes start at a small profit on a two dollar play and increase with more matches. The overall odds of winning any prize are about 1 in 24.87.
