How to play Powerball Texas
To play Powerball, you first select five white ball numbers. These five numbers will be between one and 69. Then, pick one "Powerball," or red ball, number. This number will be between one and 26.
You could also choose to have the lottery machine randomly select your numbers for you.
For an extra dollar, you may choose to "power play," which multiplies all non-grand prize winnings by a factor of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10.
When are Powerball drawings?
Powerball drawings are on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:12 p.m. CT, but ticket sales close at 9 p.m. CT.
