The Powerball drawing is held twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday nights.
How Does Powerball Work?
Powerball is a lottery game that requires players to purchase tickets, each of which contains five numbers and a Powerball number. When the drawing is held, a set of five numbers between 1 and 69 is drawn, as well as a single Powerball number between 1 and 26. If a player’s ticket matches all six numbers, they win the jackpot. The jackpot starts at $40 million and increases with each drawing.
