How to Play New York Powerball
Even if you have zero experience with Powerball, the rules are simple to understand and follow. Here’s everything you need to do to participate in the NY Powerball draw:
- Find the nearest NY Lottery retailer and purchase a Powerball ticket.
- You can either choose the ‘Quick Pick’ option or select your numbers. Quick Pick is the easiest way to play the game — the computer randomly chooses the numbers instead of you.
- If you’d rather select your own numbers, grab the payslip, pick five white-ball numbers from 1 to 69, and one red Powerball from 1 to 26.
- Complete the game panel, choosing how many plays you want to participate in with the same payslip.
- Give the completed payslip back to the retailer or place it in the New York Lottery vending machine to receive the ticket.
- Follow the drawings on TV or visit the official NY Lottery website to see the winning numbers.
While you’re filling out the payslip, you can choose a few options:
- Powerplay — pay $1 extra per game and choose to boost any non-jackpot winnings by a factor of two, three, four, five, or ten;
- Play It Again — come back within 30 days from the draw with the same ticket and play the same numbers again;
- Multi-Draw — choose to participate in the following 39 Powerball drawings.
Up until recently, New York didn’t allow its residents to purchase lottery tickets online. However, in January 2021, the State Lottery entered into an agreement with the mobile app Jackpocket, making it possible for players to buy Powerball tickets online and participate in the draw.
Players older than 18 can download the iOS or Android app, install it on their mobile devices, and buy Powerball tickets. After getting the payslip and submitting the order, the app completes the order and scans it, sending you a confirmation email with the ticket’s serial number.
Afterwards, you can follow the draw and see the winning Powerball numbers on the official NY Lottery website.
Powerball Drawing Schedule
The NY Lottery holds Powerball draws three times a week. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59pm ET, participants have a chance to win the multi-million-dollar jackpot. If you decide to participate in Powerball, you can buy the ticket until 10pm ET on the draw night.
Payouts, Odds, and Rules
As mentioned, Powerball rules are super simple to follow. Choose five white numbers from 1 to 69 and the red Powerball from 1 to 26.
To win the current jackpot, you need to guess the entire combination — five white ball numbers and the red Powerball. The main prize continues to grow between draws until someone hits the jackpot.
If you guess only the five white numbers, you’ll get a second-place reward worth $1 million. The seven other prizes range between $50,000 and $4, depending on the combination you guess correctly.
Below, you can find more details about the winning combinations, odds, and prizes.

New York Powerball FAQ
How do you win the Powerball?
Powerball rules are simple. To win the jackpot, you need to match all five white-ball numbers between 1 and 69 and guess the red Powerball, any number from 1 to 26. If you fail to match the Powerball but get the five white balls right, you’ll get a $1 million prize. Don’t worry, though — Powerball features seven other prizes.
To boost your non-jackpot winnings, you can always opt for the Power Play feature and potentially increase your reward two, three, four, five, or ten times.
When is the Powerball draw?
The New York Lottery organizes Powerball draws three times a week — on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. The drawing events happen at 10:59pm ET.
How late can you buy New York Powerball tickets?
Those who want to participate in the NY Powerball can purchase the ticket as late as 10pm ET on the night of the draw, approximately one hour before the drawing event starts.
How much tax do you pay on NY Powerball winnings?
Like any other state lotteries, the NY Lottery is required by law to withhold 24% of the winning for federal taxes. On top of that, 8.82% of the winnings go to state income taxes.
