Powerball
Powerball is a multi-state game played in 48 states and jurisdictions in the U.S. There are now three drawings a week – on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday - and nine different ways to win each time. Hundreds of thousands of players, sometimes millions, receive payouts in every draw.
The Powerball jackpot is always worth at least $20 million and quickly goes up if nobody matches all six winning numbers, five main numbers from 1 to 69 and a Powerball from 1 to 26. The top prize regularly hits $400 million and has occasionally gone far higher. In November 2022, a single ticket holder from California won $2.04 billion – the largest lottery jackpot ever seen anywhere on the planet.
You can add Power Play to potentially boost your prize, while the new Double Play game gives you more opportunities to win. Take a look at the latest Powerball Payouts.

Mega Millions
Mega Millions has eye-catching jackpots that start at $20 million and have been known to go above $1 billion.
Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday night at 11:00 pm EST in Atlanta, Georgia, with tickets sold in 45 states plus Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. You have to match five main numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball from 1 to 25 to win the jackpot, but there are also eight other prize levels.
You can win by matching just the Mega Ball without any of the main numbers. If you add the Megaplier to your ticket, it multiplies any non-jackpot prizes by up to five times their original value, so you could even receive $5 million without matching all the numbers.

Pick five numbers from 1 to 70, a Mega Ball from 1 to 25 and decide whether to add the Megaplier.

Lotto America
Lotto America is a multi-state game played in 13 jurisdictions. The original version of the game predated Powerball, before it returned in a new format in 2017.
To play, you have to select five numbers from 1 to 52 and a Star Ball from 1 to 10. The All Star Bonus also gives you a chance to multiply non-jackpot winnings.
The Lotto America jackpot can grow into the tens of millions of dollars. The first time the grand prize was won under the new format was in March 2018. Debbie Kujava, from the town of Badger, had purchased the winning ticket, but she had no hesitation in splitting the $22.8 million jackpot with her brother Dennis. She said they had an agreement that 'if one wins, we both win'.
