Match your numbers to win. Add Power Play to multiply most non-jackpot prizes.
Quick takeaways about Powerball prize odds
- Most winners aren’t jackpot winners. The smaller prize tiers hit much more often than 5 + Powerball.
- Power Play multiplies most non‑jackpot prizes, but not the jackpot.
- Match 5 is special: it becomes $2,000,000 with Power Play (it doesn’t scale beyond that).

Powerball odds in plain English
Jackpot odds: about 1 in 292 million per ticket (5 white balls + Powerball).
But most winners never touch the jackpot — smaller tiers happen dramatically more often (for example, Powerball-only is 1 in 38). Use the table above to compare tiers at a glance.
Common Powerball misconceptions
- Myth: “If the jackpot hasn’t hit in a while, it’s due.”
Fact: Odds don’t change draw-to-draw — each ticket is independent. - Myth: “The multiplier improves my chance of winning.”
Fact: It changes payouts, not the probability of matching balls. - Myth: “Only the jackpot matters.”
Fact: Lower tiers hit far more often — and they’re the majority of real-world wins.
