exclusive link and buy your tickets online today. Tickets are sold until 15 minutes before the drawing. Tonight’s drawing takes place at 11 p.m. ET.

Powerball is a relatively simple game. To play, all you need to do is pick six numbers: five white ball numbers between 1 and 69 (no repeats) and a single red Powerball between 1 and 26.

You can select numbers manually or use one of the other options available online.

Easy Pick lets you purchase tickets in one of three increments: 3 tickets for $6, 5 tickets for $10, or 10 tickets for $20. Your numbers will be randomly selected.

Combo My Numbers lets you select between 6 and 10 digits within the Powerball range, then generates tickets using different combinations of those numbers.

Use Favorite Purchase allows players who have played before to pick numbers they’ve used in the past.

Each time you select six numbers, that’s called a “line.” You can purchase multiple lines at once and even apply them to many future drawings if you choose. Each line costs $2.

Power Play is an option that costs $1 per line. If you select Power Play, any non-jackpot winnings you receive will be multiplied by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x. The 10x multiplier is only available for drawings in which the advertised jackpot is less than $150 million.

For example, a player who matches four white balls would normally win $100. But with Power Play, a multiplier is drawn to increase that prize. Matching 4 white balls with a Power Play of 3x (which is chosen at random) would pay $300.

Double Play is another side option for Powerball players. It enters your numbers into a second chance drawing for $1 per entry. The Double Play drawing usually occurs around 11:30 to 11:40 p.m. ET, following the Powerball drawing.

The catch? Double Play is only available for in-store Powerball purchases. You can’t get it with online play.

The top prize for Double Play is $10 million, which is shared among any players who match five white balls and the Powerball.
