What is Powerball CA?
Powerball CA is a multi-jurisdictional lottery game, available to play for residents of California via The California State Lottery.
Participants choose any five numbers from 1 to 69, and then a further red Powerball from 1 to 26. The Powerball jackpot continues to rollover until it is won.
Powerball was added to The California State Lottery’s games roster in February 2012 following a review by its management team in response to declining sales and revenues from lottery tickets. The first Powerball tickets eventually went on sale in California on April 8, 2013.
California is the only state that doesn't offer the Power Play option and instead pays out winners for non-jackpot prizes on a pari-mutuel basis.
