The California Lottery Powerball is one of the most popular multi-state lottery games available to California residents. Players select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26 for a chance to win massive jackpots that often reach hundreds of millions of dollars.
Drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday evening, with tickets available for purchase until 7:00 PM on draw days. The California Lottery contributes a significant portion of its revenue to public education, making participation in Powerball not just a chance to win big but also a way to support local schools and educational programs.
Winners have the option to receive their prize as either a lump sum payment or as an annuity paid over 29 years. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292 million, but there are multiple prize tiers with better odds for smaller amounts. |
