Overview
The US Powerball is a multi-state lottery. It runs in all but six of the US states as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. It holds the record for the largest jackpot ever won, weighing in at a mighty $1.5 billion!
How to Play US Powerball
The US Powerball packs a powerful-punch of money if lady-luck nods in your direction. To play simply choose 5 main balls between 1 and 69. Then pick a Powerball, which ranges between numbers 1 – 26. The Powerball can be the same as one of the first five numbers, as it is drawn from a separate number pool from the first five numbers. If you don’t want to overthink it, then you can choose to have the numbers randomly generated on your behalf.
How to Win The US Powerball Jackpot?
To claim the Powerball jackpot, which is a minimum of 40 million dollars, you’ll need to show a ticket that reflects five matching numbers as well as the winning Powerball number. There are nine other sliding scale ways to win. The Power Play multiplier is an exciting added option where you can see your winnings multiplied up to 10 times! Sports car, anyone?

The US Powerball History
The US Powerball lottery commenced back in 1992 and is now one of the biggest lottery draws in the world. It was the first lottery game to use two drums to draw winners. One drum is used for the white balls and one for the red “Power” ball, which gives the lottery its name.
The lottery offers one jackpot, which increases every time that no winning jackpot ticket is sold, and a variety of smaller cash prizes.
In 2015 the lottery ball pool extended by ten numbers giving players 69 balls to choose from and the Powerball ball pool reduced from 35 to 26. These changes increase the odds of winning the jackpot further and promise even bigger jackpots.
This lottery is played across the USA and can also be played online at First World Lottos Online, by players across the globe.
