How the Powerball jackpot works

Powerball draws are held Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights at 10:59 PM ET. Players pick 5 numbers from 1–69 plus a Powerball from 1–26; tickets cost $2 per play (Power Play add-on $1). When no ticket matches every number, the jackpot rolls over and grows with ticket sales — the runs you see climbing in the chart above.

The advertised figure is the annuity value: 30 graduated payments over 29 years. The cash option is the actual prize pool — typically 45–55% of the annuity number — taken as one lump sum. Nearly all jackpot winners take the cash. After a win, the jackpot resets to $20 million and the cycle starts again.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338 per play, no matter how large the jackpot gets — big jackpots are won more often only because far more tickets are sold, covering more of the possible combinations.

After a jackpot win, Powerball resets to an advertised starting jackpot of $20 million and grows with ticket sales until it is won again.
