This weekend’s winning white balls were 2, 12, 22, 39 and 67, while the red Powerball was 15. The Power Play was x2.

How much is the Powerball jackpot now?

According to the lottery’s organizers, the jackpot has now risen to an estimated $358 million, with a cash option of $170.7 million. The next Powerball draw will take place on Monday, October 27.

Powerball jackpot and the smaller prizes

Getting all the numbers right is pretty hard, nigh on impossible, but despite dreams of that elusive jackpot, there are many smaller prizes to put a smile on your face if you match some of the numbers in your ticket.

The odds of winning the jackpot are estimated to be 1 in 292,201,338, so you’re more likely to claim a win at your local slot machine arcade than to win the grand prize.

Additionally, as the jackpot grows in value, so does the number of players trying to win. If you still choose to test your luck, it’s good to remember what the more modest, and statistically probable, Powerball prizes are.

How to play Powerball

When you play Powerball, you need to choose six numbers from two separate pools for the drawing. Players choose five numbers between 1 and 69 for the white balls and one number for a red ball, or Powerball, from 1 to 26.

There are a total of nine ways to win a prize in Powerball, ranging from $4, recovering your initial $2 buy-in plus $2, to the jackpot. Players can increase their prize amounts by spending an extra $1 for the “Power Play” option to win two, three, four, or even five times as much. However, the Power Play only applies to non-jackpot prizes below $1 million. Any Power Play number doubles the $1 million prize.

What are the nine prizes for the Powerball?

All states set the second through ninth prizes at pre-determined amounts, except California, where all prize payouts are based on sales and the number of winners. The nine possible winning combinations are as follows, starting from the smallest, and thus the highest odds of winning.

The Powerball - $4

If your Powerball matches the one that is drawn you will get your $2 ticket purchase back and a couple bucks more, for a total of $4. The odds of your ticket matching only the Powerball is 1 in 38.

1 number plus the Powerball – still $4

If you choose one correct number plus the Powerball you’ll bring home $4 again. The odds more than double to a 1 in 91 chance.

2 numbers plus the Powerball - $7

If your ticket matches two numbers and the Powerball you’ll get $7 but the odds to get there begin to skyrocket to 1 in 701.

3 numbers - $7 again

The odds of getting three correct numbers are a bit better at 579 to 1, but you only take home another $7.

3 numbers plus the Powerball - $100

If you purchase a ticket that matches three numbers and the Powerball you’ll finally get back enough money to treat yourself or someone else to something special. The odds to get that you win the $100 cash prize jump to 1 in 14,494.

4 numbers - $100

The odds of buying a ticket containing four numbers without the Powerball almost double again to 36,525 to 1 chance, but the prize stays the same at $100.

4 numbers plus the Powerball - $50,000

When you are able to correctly guess four numbers and the Powerball, the prize climbs greatly to $50,000. However, the much greater prize comes with significantly tougher odds: 931,129 to 1. You’re twice as lucky, or better said unlucky, to be hit by lightning at this point (500,000 to 1).

5 numbers - $1 million

To get the $1 million prize, you’ll need to match the numbers on the five white balls drawn without the Powerball and beat the 11,688,053 to 1 odds.

Powerball jackpot – The whole lot

To land the jackpot, you need to correctly guess all five white balls and the Powerball. Winners of the top prize are given the option of claiming the “annuity option” - the full jackpot paid in 29 rising annual instalments - or a smaller, lump-sum payment known as the “cash option”.

All prize amounts are pre-tax. Find out more about how much Powerball winners can expect to pay in taxes, both at the federal and state level.
