The Powerball jackpot continues to grow but this time again, no ticket matched all six numbers in the Labor Day drawing. The jackpot now sits at $1.3 billion for Wednesday's drawing. If someone matches all five numbers and the Powerball, they can choose a one-time cash payment of $544.1 million.

How to Play Powerball

Playing Powerball is simple and exciting. A ticket costs $2 and can be purchased at convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, and in some states, even online.

Each ticket requires you to select six numbers:

Five white balls numbered from 1 to 69. One red Powerball numbered from 1 to 26. For an extra $1, you can add the “Power Play” option, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even 10X.

Don’t feel like choosing numbers yourself? Use the “Quick Pick” feature, where the computer randomly generates your numbers for you.

To win the Powerball jackpot, you must match all five white balls (in any order) plus the red Powerball.

Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday night. If nobody hits the jackpot, the prize money keeps rolling over, creating even bigger payouts in the next drawing.

How much tax do you have to pay?

Winners can opt for an annuity option, which is paid over 30 years. However, winners tend to pick the cash option, which holds a cash value of $498.4 million.

The prize is subject to taxes, which includes an automatic withholding tax of 24% levied against the winnings, and another 13% in federal taxes when you file your 2025 return.

There are also state taxes in some jurisdictions, which range from 2.9% to 10.9% depending on the state you live in. But players in California, Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington or Wyoming don't need to worry about such taxes.
