Powerball® Power up with POWERBALLl®. This exciting multi-state game reaches an audience of 24 states plus the District of Columbia and US Virgin Islands. With nine ways to win for $1, players select five numbers from one to 53, and a POWERBALL number from one to 42. Players now have the choice of either selecting the annuity or cash option payout. POWERBALL® is drawn twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday nights. For more bounce for your buck, there’s POWER PLAY. POWER PLAY costs an additional $1 for each $1 bet.
