The winning numbers in the December 28 draw were 20, 23, 39, 59 and 60. The Powerball was 18 with a Power Play of 2x.
To play the Powerball lottery, players must purchase a ticket from a licensed lottery retailer for $2 per play. Players will select five numbers between 1 and 69 for the white balls and one number between 1 and 26 for the red Powerball.
The numbers can be chosen intentionally, or a player can have the lottery terminal choose them randomly. Players can choose to play the same set of numbers multiple times with Multi-Draw or Advance Play. The Powerball jackpot begins at $40 million and increases each time it is not won. The biggest the jackpot has even been is $1.586 billion, which was won in a draw on January 13, 2016. It was won by three couples who each got around a $533 million annuity or $327.8 million if claimed as a cash option.Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
You do not have to be a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident to participate and can buy tickets up until one to two hours before the draw, depending on the selling jurisdiction. Players from states where the lottery is not available are allowed to purchase tickets out of state. However, if they win, their prize has to be claimed in the same state as the ticket was purchased. Prizes under $600 can generally be claimed at any licensed retailer and bigger prizes must be claimed at a lottery office. The deadline for claiming a prize varies by state but is typically between 90 days and one year.Saul Loeb/AFP via Getty Images
