Powerball Lottery Prizes and Odds
Starting from January 4, 2009 you need to pick 5 out of 59 balls and 1 of 39 Powerballs. Odds will now change from 1 in 146,107,962 to 1 in 195,249,054.
The Power Play option will continue, except that Powerball will now always draw a 5X for the second prize (Match 5+0). That means that when you win the second prize and have also purchased the Power Play option, your $200,000 will automatically become $1 million; every time. And this prize is paid in cash. The Power Play option will still offer the chance of drawing the multipliers 2X, 3X, 4X, or 5X for the other set prize levels, but the second prize will never be less than 5X.
