You can do this at a variety of locations, including a local convenience store, gas station, or even grocery store. In some states, Powerball tickets can be bought online depending on local jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Once you have your ticket, you need to pick six numbers. Five of them will be white balls numbered 1 to 69. The red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26. People can also add a \u201cPower Play\u201d for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes. The \u201cPower Play\u201d multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you want the computer to select the numbers, the \u201cQuick Pick\u201d option is available, as well. To win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Powerball drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. If no one wins the jackpot, the cash prize will keep ticking up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Fernando Cervantes Jr. is a trending news reporter for USA TODAY.
