Understanding Texas Powerball
Powerball is a draw game where players choose five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. To win the jackpot, you need to match all six numbers drawn. However, there are many other ways to win prizes, with eight additional ways to win secondary prizes by matching a combination of white balls and the Powerball.
How to Play Powerball in Texas
- Choose Your Numbers: You can either select your own numbers or opt for a "Quick Pick," where the terminal randomly selects numbers for you.
- Select Five White Balls: Pick five numbers between 1 and 69.
- Select One Red Powerball: Choose one number between 1 and 26.
- Add Power Play (Optional): For an extra dollar per play, you can add the Power Play option. This multiplies any non-jackpot winnings by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10, depending on the multiplier drawn.
- Purchase Your Ticket: Tickets cost $2 per play. Be sure to check the official Texas Lottery website or your local retailer for specific draw days and times.
