Powerball: here’s what you win

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”.

#MegaMillions was not hit tonight.

Jackpot for Friday, Nov. 7 has increased to $843,000,000! 💵👀💵

Good Luck!
