How Powerball works
Powerball is a numbers game played across the United States. To take part, a player selects five main numbers from 1 to 69 and one additional number, called the Powerball, from 1 to 26. The combination a player chooses stays the same until the draw takes place, and it is this combination that is later compared with the numbers pulled during the official drawing.
When a player fills in a Powerball slip, the five main numbers are chosen independently of the single Powerball number, since they come from two separate number ranges. Some players select their own numbers while others ask for a randomly generated set. Either way the game format stays the same, and all entries are treated equally once the draw has taken place.
The Powerball number is drawn separately from the five main numbers and is used to determine certain prize levels, including the top prize, which requires matching it along with all five main numbers. Draws are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 22:59 Eastern Time, so results are available for players to check after each of these scheduled drawings.
How to read the Powerball results
On this page the five main numbers from a draw are shown together, usually in the order they were pulled or arranged numerically, followed by the Powerball number shown separately. The Powerball is not part of the five main numbers and is listed on its own because it is drawn from a different range and plays a distinct role in determining results.
A published result simply shows which numbers were drawn, it does not by itself confirm what, if anything, a particular ticket has won, since that depends on comparing the ticket against the official prize structure. This page is updated after each scheduled draw, so the figures shown reflect the most recent Powerball drawing once it has taken place.
Powerball odds: your chances of winning
To win the Powerball jackpot you need to match all 5 main numbers plus the Powerball. The number of possible combinations is 11,238,513 × 26 = 292,201,338, so the chance of winning the jackpot with a single entry is 1 in 292,201,338.
The first figure is the number of ways to choose 5 numbers out of 69 (the order does not matter); the second is the number of ways to choose the Powerball.
The table shows the chance of matching a given number of the 5 main numbers drawn (bonus and extra numbers are not counted). The prize tiers on the official website also depend on the extra numbers.

| 4 of 5 | 1 in 35,120 |
| 3 of 5 | 1 in 557 |
| 2 of 5 | 1 in 27 |

How to check your Powerball ticket
To check a ticket, compare every number on it against the results for the correct draw date, since Powerball draws take place several times a week and matching against the wrong date will give a misleading answer. Check all five main numbers against the main numbers drawn, then check the Powerball separately, as it is not interchangeable with the other five.
For a reliable check, use the official lottery website, its official app, or ask an authorised retailer to scan the ticket. These sources are kept up to date and avoid any confusion that can come from secondary listings. Once a ticket has been checked, keep it in a safe place, since the physical ticket is generally required to claim any prize.
Always confirm results with the official lottery before claiming a prize: powerball.com.
Powerball prizes and claiming
Powerball pays prizes across several tiers, and which tier a ticket falls into depends on how many of the five main numbers it matches, and whether it also matches the Powerball. The exact prize amounts, the rules for claiming a prize and any tax treatment are set and published by the official lottery operator, so players should always confirm current details on the official website rather than relying on other sources.
Because outcomes are random and not something a player can influence, it is worth treating Powerball as entertainment rather than a reliable way to make money. Anyone who plays should set a budget in advance and stick to it, and avoid spending more than they can comfortably afford to lose.
