No matter how big the prize gets, the odds remain the same – and they’re terrible.
It is the odds of 1 in 292.2 million that make the jackpot so difficult to win and result in such huge prizes for the lucky players or players who manage to pick the game’s six winning numbers.
Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 pm ET. Tickets are $2 each and the Power Play option is an additional $2.
