Once you have your ticket, you need to pick six numbers. Five of them will be white balls with numbers from 1 to 69. The red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26. People can also add a “Power Play” for $1 which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes.

The Powerball lottery jackpot was an estimated $279 million with a cash option of $131.5 million for Monday night's drawing.
