To play, pick up a POWERBALL playslip at an authorized Florida Lottery retailer. To find a retailer near you, click here. Each playslip contains five panels (A-E). In each panel played:

Select five numbers from 1 through 59 in the upper play area, or mark the QP (Quick Pick) box and let the terminal randomly pick some or all of your numbers.
Select your Powerball number from 1 through 35 in the lower play area, or mark the QP (Quick Pick) box for the terminal to randomly select your Powerball number.
To win two to four times more on your non-jackpot prizes, select the Power Play box. Power Play costs $1 more per play. Please Note: The Power Play box applies to all panels and Quick Picks played on the playslip.
To play the same numbers for more than one draw, simply tell the retailer how many advance draws you wish to play or select the number of draws in the Advance Play section of your playslip. For more information on Advance Play, please click here.
Review your selections carefully. POWERBALL tickets cannot be cancelled.
Give your completed playslip and payment to the retailer ($2 per play for POWERBALL, or $3 per play for POWERBALL with Power Play). You will receive a ticket printed with your numbers, drawing date(s), and total cost of the ticket. POWERBALL with Power Play tickets will display "POWER PLAY YES."
Check the official drawing results to see if you're a winner! Drawing results are available on this website, at authorized Florida Lottery retailers and at (850) 921-PLAY (7529). To watch the drawings, click here.

Drawings are held Wednesday and Saturday nights at 10:59 p.m., Eastern Time. Tickets may be purchased until 10:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the night of the drawing. Tickets purchased after that time will be for the next drawing.

If you claim a prize on a winning Advance Play ticket before all of the draws on the ticket have occurred, you will be issued a continuation ticket for the remaining draws with the same play numbers as the original ticket.

Please remember: All prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the applicable drawing date. All POWERBALL prizes must be claimed in the state where the ticket was purchased.

How to Win

The Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) will hold official POWERBALL^® drawings in which five out of 59 numbers (white balls) and a Powerball number between 1 and 35 (red ball) will be drawn at random. There are nine ways to win POWERBALL prizes by matching the winning numbers drawn in the official drawing for the date played. Match all five numbers plus the Powerball to win the jackpot or match any of the non-jackpot-winning combinations to win other great cash prizes!

All POWERBALL prizes are set payouts, except the jackpot. The jackpot prize will be shared among winners in all POWERBALL states. The jackpot will be paid in 30 annual payments or a one-time cash payment of a reduced amount. If there is no jackpot winner, the money in the jackpot pool rolls over to the next POWERBALL drawing.

All POWERBALL prizes must be claimed in the state where the ticket was purchased. POWERBALL prizes must be claimed within 180 days after the winning drawing date. Federal income taxes will be withheld from POWERBALL prizes as required by the Internal Revenue Code at the time payments are made. Any additional federal, state and/or local taxes shall be the responsibility of the winner. Prizes of up to $1 million may be claimed at a Florida Lottery district office. Prizes of more than $1 million must be claimed at Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee. For information on claiming prizes, click here.
