Arkansas Powerball Lottery

Powerball is the original and most widely known multi-state lottery game in the United States. With millions of people playing in a staggering 32 different jurisdictions, jackpots can roll to life-changing levels at an incredible rate.

Players pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers: five different numbers from 1 to 59, and one number from 1 to 39. You win the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers. Other prizes range from $3 to $200,000.

The Powerball jackpot starts at a minimum of $20 million, and continues to climb every drawing that nobody matches all six numbers.

Powerball jackpots are paid either over 26 years or a single lump sum payment of about half the advertised jackpot. The choice is yours.

Anyone who is 18 or older can play Powerball, even if you are not a USA citizen.
