How many numbers in Powerball do you need to win?
You only technically need one matching number, if it’s the right number to win at least some prize money. When playing the Powerball, you select five white ball numbers, and one ‘Powerball’ number which is meant to match the red ball.
For one extra dollar, you can opt into ‘Powerplay’ which multiplies all non-grand prize winnings by a factor of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10.
Here is a guide to winnings:
1 matching number that is the Powerball number: $4
1 matching number + the Powerball number: $4
2 matching numbers + the Powerball number: $7
3 matching numbers: $7
3 matching numbers + the Powerball number: $100
4 matching numbers: $100
4 matching numbers + the Powerball numbers: $50,000
5 matching numbers: $1 million
5 matching numbers + the Powerball number: Grand prize
These winnings can be multiplied by the ‘Powerplay’ number which is randomly chosen before each drawing.
