Powerball Prize Payouts and How to Win
The cost of a Powerball ticket is $2. For an extra $1, players can add the Power Play feature, which multiplies all non-jackpot winnings by the multiplier drawn (in this case, 2X).
You only need to match one number—the Powerball—to win the minimum prize of $4. Matching two total numbers only yields a prize if one of them is the Powerball, also worth $4.
| Numbers Matched | Prize (Base Amount) | Prize with 2X Power Play |
|---|---|---|
| 5 White Balls + Powerball | $223 Million (Jackpot) | N/A |
| 5 White Balls | $1 Million | $2 Million |
| 4 White Balls + Powerball | $50,000 | $100,000 |
| 4 White Balls | $100 | $200 |
| 3 White Balls + Powerball | $100 | $200 |
