Powerball

Powerball is a nationwide lottery game in the United States where players select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one additional “Powerball” number from 1 to 26. To win the jackpot, players must match all six numbers drawn. Smaller prizes are awarded for matching fewer numbers. Drawings occur twice a week, and jackpots can grow to hundreds of millions of dollars. The game is operated by multiple state lotteries, with proceeds supporting public programs. Powerball offers a chance to win large prizes through a relatively low-cost ticket, making it a popular form of entertainment and the pursuit of a substantial windfall.
