Arkansas Powerball Lottery
Q: What is Powerball®?
A: Powerball® is a multi-state jackpot game offered in 44 lottery jurisdictions (view map) including Arkansas. All member lotteries contribute a percentage of sales to a jackpot prize pool. Jackpots start at $40 million and increase after every draw until won.
Q: What is PowerPlay®?
A: PowerPlay® can be added to any Powerball® play as an option to increase non-jackpot winnings by as much as a million dollars. A multiplier of 2, 3, 4 or 5 is randomly selected during the drawing for determining PowerPlay® prizes for the bottom seven Powerball® prize tiers. The multiplier will not apply to the match-5 prize; instead the Powerball® with PowerPlay® prize will be set at $2 million.
Q: When and where is Powerball® drawn?
A: Powerball® drawings are held at 9:59 p.m. CST on Wednesday and Saturday in Florida. Past draws are available to watch online.
Q: Can I enter non-winning Powerball® tickets in Points for Prizes™?
A:
Winning and non-winning Powerball® are eligible for Points for Prizes™ if the ticket has a Points for Prizes™ code box on the front of the ticket. However, only instant (scratch-off) tickets are eligible for the Play It Again™ program.
Q: Is it possible for the Powerball® number to be the same as one of the five white ball numbers?
A:
Yes. The five white ball numbers and the one Powerball® number are drawn from separate sets of balls, so the Powerball® number could be the same as one of the white ball numbers.
Q: Which has better odds – picking my own numbers or requesting a quick pick?
A: Whether you pick your own numbers or have the terminal randomly select numbers for you, the odds of winning are the same.
