What players needed to know before the draw
A Powerball ticket costs $2, and players choose five numbers from 1 to 69 plus one Powerball number from 1 to 26. A jackpot win requires matching all six numbers on the ticket to the drawn combination.
The odds of winning the jackpot stand at 1 in 292.2 million. In New York, in-store and online sales stop at 10 p.m. on draw night, while New Jersey closes at 9:45 p.m. and Connecticut at 10 p.m.
Where tickets are sold and how the game works
New York Lottery retailers sell Powerball tickets, and the game remains one of the best-known multistate lotteries in the country. The format stays simple for players, but the top prize can grow quickly when drawings roll over without a jackpot winner.
Powerball has also produced some of the largest jackpots in lottery history, including the record $2.04 billion prize won in California in November 2022. Recent large wins have kept attention high, with jackpots such as $1.817 billion in Arkansas in December 2025 and $1.787 billion split between Missouri and Texas in September 2025.
