The Powerball jackpot has climbed to $375 million with a cash value of $170.6 million ahead of the Wednesday, July 1, drawing. Since its launch in 1992, Powerball jackpots have been won over 400 times, with states like Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin ranking among those with the most jackpot-winning tickets.
How to Play Powerball
Powerball tickets are $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. To play, individuals must pick six numbers: five white balls numbered 1 to 69 and the red Powerball, which ranges from 1 to 26. Players can also add a “Power Play” for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes. The “Power Play” multiplier can multiply winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
Powerball drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. If no one wins the jackpot, the cash prize will continue to grow.
