POWERBALL up to estimated $403 million, 10th largest in history; drawing is tonight


Don’t forget about tonight’s enormous POWERBALL jackpot!  POWERBALL is up to an estimated $403 million.  The cash option for the estimated $403 million POWERBALL jackpot is $243.9 million.  This is the 10th largest jackpot in Powerball history. 
 
Players pick five White Balls and one Red Powerball when filling out a play slip or they can choose the Quick Pick option where the computer chooses their numbers.  There are nine ways to win with POWERBALL.
 

Match 5 + Powerball = $403 Million Jackpot!
Match 5 + No Match = $1,000,000
Match 4 + Powerball = $10,000
Match 4 + No Match = $100
Match 3 + Powerball = $100
Match 3 + No Match = $7
Match 2 + Powerball = $7
Match 1 + Powerball = $4
No Match + Powerball = $4

 
A lot of new players get in the game when the POWERBALL jackpot is high and don’t realize there are nine ways to win.  We always encourage them to check their tickets.  Most retailers have self-ticket checkers so players can check their tickets themselves to see if they have won a prize.
 
Players can also purchase Power Play.  For an extra $1 per POWERBALL play, players can increase their prize amount (excluding the jackpot).  The Match 5 but not the Powerball with Power Play is worth $2,000,000!    

Tickets for tonight’s $403 million POWERBALL drawing are just $2 each and can be purchased at any of the Kentucky Lottery’s retailers or online at kylottery.com until 9:58 p.m. ET/8:58 p.m. CT.  Powerball® drawings are held at 10:58 p.m. ET/9:58 p.m. CT on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
