Do You Need to Match All 6 Numbers to Win a Payout?

Powerball tickets cost $2 per play. During a Powerball drawing, five white balls are drawn, each containing a number from 1 to 69, along one with red Powerball, which contains a number from 1 to 26.

While players can win a payout in nine different ways, only the grand prize jackpot can be won by matching six numbers.

Players can win various payouts from one, two, three, four, or five matched numbers. That prize increases if the Powerball number is matched.

Here's a Powerball Payout breakdown:

• 5 numbers matched: $1 million (1 in 11,688,054 odds)
• 4 numbers matched + Powerball: $50,000 (1 in 913,129 odds)
• 4 numbers matched: $100 (1 in 36,525 odds)
• 3 numbers matched + Powerball: $100 (1 in 14,494 odds)
• 3 numbers matched: $7 (1 in 580 odds)
• 2 numbers matched + Powerball: $7 (1 in 701 odds)
• 1 number matched + Powerball: $4 (1 in 92 odds)
• Powerball matched: $4 (1 in 38 odds)

Players also have the option of adding a "Power Play" to their ticket, which is an additional cost but can increase the amount of money you win if you get a match.
