When is the next Powerball draw and where can you buy tickets?

The next Powerball jackpot drawing takes place at 10:59pm ET Saturday Dec, 24. The estimated jackpot now stands at $186 million, with a cash value of $100.1 million.

How to play Powerball

A regular Powerball ticket costs $2. To play, you must pick five numbers from 1 to 69 and a Powerball number from 1 to 26. If the six numbers you choose match those drawn, you win the jackpot. Steadily smaller prizes are also available if some, but not all, of your numbers come up (see below).

Power Play, Double Play

For an extra $1, you can add what’s called a Power Play. This multiplies winnings by two, three, four, five or 10, depending on the multiplier number picked out of the hat before the draw itself takes place. Power Play isn’t applied to the jackpot, however, and the multiplier is never higher than two if you win the $1m second prize. In some states - Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Washington - you can also pay $1 for a so-called Double Play. This option sees players’ numbers added to a second draw after the Powerball draw, with a maximum cash prize of $10m.

How much can you win in the next jackpot?

Five numbers + Powerball: jackpot

Five numbers: $1m

Four numbers + Powerball: $50,000

Four numbers: $100

Three numbers + Powerball: $100

Three numbers: $7

Two numbers + Powerball: $7

One number + Powerball: $4

Powerball: $4

Why are there two jackpot figures?

Winners of the Powerball jackpot can choose to receive their money as an up-front lump sum, or in annual payments spread out over 29 years. If they opt for the latter, known as the ‘annuity option’, they get the jackpot in full, in steadily rising payouts. In the case of Saturday’s draw, the payments would increase from just over $2.5m to around $10.5m. If they go for the lump sum, they get the smaller ‘cash value’ figure. Explaining the difference between the two jackpot amounts, the Powerball organisers say: “The annuity is invested in government bonds over 29 years, allowing payments to increase by 5% each year.”

Remember that winnings are pre-tax.

What are the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot?

According to Lottery USA, a single ticket has a one in 292,201,338 chance of matching five numbers and the Powerball. Your odds of getting five numbers without the Powerball are 11,688,053.52 to one.

Why did I lose my spread bet?

The only way you lose a point spread bet on an underdog is if the favorite beats that underdog by a margin greater than the spread.

What is a 5x wagering requirement?

support.betfair.com - Casino: What are wagering requirements? - Betfair Support

A wagering requirement is a multiplier that represents the number of times you have to play though a bonus before you are able to withdraw any winnings. For example: I am given a £20 Casino bonus with a 10x wagering requirement. This means I need to spend £200 on eligible games, before I can withdraw any pending winnings gained. Stakes on some of our games mat not count in full towards the wagering requirement, Standard Game Weightings may apply. Please always check the terms and conditions to clarify this. Any winnings made whilst working towards your wagering requirements will be stored in a pending balance until you meet the wagering requirement. You cannot withdraw cash from your pending balance. You will be able to spend those pending funds to work down the wager requirement. Wagering requirements for bonuses will apply to an account from the time a bonus is accepted and/or applied to an account. To release any pending funds into your Main Wallet, you need to complete the wagering requirement for the applicable bonus. Once you have done that, all funds stored in the pending balance for that bonus will be released to your Main Wallet.
