Powerball

Powerball is one of the most popular multi-state lottery games in the country, and New York players can join in the chase for some of the largest jackpots ever offered. Playing is straightforward: choose five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26, or opt for a Quick Pick and let the computer select a random combination for you. To win the Powerball jackpot, all six numbers on your ticket — the five main numbers plus the Powerball — must match the drawn combination, but multiple prize tiers mean there are plenty of ways to win. For an extra $1 per play, Power Play multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to ten times, with the second prize (match 5) always set at $2 million; note the 10X multiplier applies only when the advertised jackpot is $150 million or less. You can also add Double Play for $1 more, entering your same numbers into a separate drawing held after the main draw for a chance to win up to $10,000,000. Powerball drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 PM, broadcast live on your local TV network or via the official livestream. As soon as the draw wraps up, checking the Powerball results is the exciting part: compare your ticket against the latest winning numbers to see if you've struck it lucky. The most recent winning numbers and full results are posted right after each drawing, so you can verify your tickets quickly and confidently. Want to keep your numbers in play?
