The most recent minimum jackpot is advertised as $40 million, and jackpots can exceed $200 million with rollovers.
In addition to the jackpot, there are eight other prize tiers. For players matching all five main numbers without the Powerball, the second prize is $1 million (or $2 million if the “Power Play” option is selected).
Players matching four main numbers plus the Powerball can win up to $50,000, and if the “Power Play” option is selected, that prize is automatically multiplied by a factor of two, three, four or five.
The corresponding prizes for matching four, three and two main numbers plus the Powerball are $100, $7 and $4, respectively. Finally, players who only match the Powerball can win up to $4.
The exact prizes associated with each tier may vary from drawing to drawing and depend on the ticket sales and the number of winners. Powerball also offers a $1 million prize for matching five main numbers (without the Powerball) in certain states.
