You can do this at a variety of locations, including a local convenience store, gas station, or even grocery store. In some states, Powerball tickets can be bought online depending on local jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Once you have your ticket, you need to pick six numbers. Five of them will be white balls numbered 1 to 69. The red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26. People can also add a &#8220;Power Play&#8221; for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes. The &#8220;Power Play&#8221; multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you want the computer to select the numbers, the &#8220;Quick Pick&#8221; option is available, as well. To win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If no one wins the jackpot, the cash prize will keep ticking up.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Do you have to be a U.S. citizen or resident to play Powerball?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The short answer is <a data-ylk=\"slk:no, you do not have to be a U.S. citizen;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.powerball.com\/faqs#:~:text=You%20do%20not%20have%20to,to%20any%20claimed%20prize%20money.\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">no, you do not have to be a U.S. citizen<\/a> or U.S. resident to play Powerball.
