Monday night’s drawing is first time in Powerball history that back-to-back jackpot cycles have ballooned to billion-dollar grand prizes. Here’s everything you need to know about how to play — and what to do if you actually win.
If you’ve missed out on the other recent, record-breaking lottery jackpots, then the next Powerball drawing is yet another long shot at becoming a billionaire overnight.
Where can you watch the Powerball drawing, or see the winning numbers? You can watch Powerball drawings live on the lottery’s website, and Powerball also shows clips of drawings on its YouTube channel. You’ll select five numbers between 1 and 69 for the white balls, and then one number between 1 and 26 for the red Powerball. You can manually select the numbers yourself on a play slip, which you give back to the cashier to receive a printout of those numbers. Or, you can let a lottery terminal randomly pick your digits for you with “Quick Pick.
How much do you get if you win the Powerball jackpot? If someone defies those long odds to win the jackpot on Monday night, Powerball says they will have the choice between the annuitized prize worth an estimated $1.55 billion that will be paid out to them in yearly installments over time. Or, they can opt for a more immediate lump sum payment that is estimated at a $679.8 million.
