To win the Powerball jackpot, a player must match 5 numbers from 1 to 69 plus 1 Powerball number from 1 to 26. So, in total, 6 numbers are needed to win the jackpot: 5 white balls plus the red Powerball. Here is the key information:
- Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 69.
- Pick 1 Powerball number from 1 to 26.
- Matching all 5 white balls plus the Powerball wins the jackpot.
There are also other prize tiers for matching fewer numbers with or without the Powerball, but the jackpot requires matching all six numbers.
