How many numbers will you need in Powerball to win a prize?
You can technically win a Powerball prize with just one number. If you match the Powerball number alone, you receive a prize of $4. If you match one ball along with the Powerball, you win $4. For matching two balls and the Powerball, the prize is $7. Similarly, if you match three numbers without the Powerball, you win $7. If you match all three numbers and the Powerball, the prize increases to $100.
You also earn $100 for matching four numbers correctly.
Now, for the exciting part: Matching four numbers and the Powerball grants you a prize of $50,000. If you match all five numbers, the reward is $1 million. To claim the grand prize, you must match all five numbers along with the Powerball.
When is the next Powerball drawing?
Powerball drawings occur every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET.
