Powerball drawings are held three times a week \u2014 Monday, Wednesday and Saturday \u2014 with numbers broadcast live around 9:59 p.m. Central time. Ticket sales typically cut off about an hour before each drawing, though exact cutoff times vary by state.<\/p>\n
Each Powerball ticket costs $2 per play. Players choose five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26, or can opt for a computer-generated Quick Pick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For an extra $1 per play, players can add Power Play, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times, depending on the multiplier drawn that night. Powerball is sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
