Powerball drawing
The Powerball drawing is a weekly lottery game that is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The game is coordinated by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), a non-profit organization formed by the lotteries of its member states.
The Powerball drawing is held every Wednesday and Saturday night at 10:59 p.m. ET. Players choose five numbers from a pool of 69 white balls and one number from a pool of 26 red balls. The Powerball number is not chosen from the same pool as the white balls.
To win the Powerball jackpot, a player must match all five white balls and the Powerball number. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. The jackpot starts at $20 million and grows by several million dollars each drawing until it is won.
In addition to the jackpot, there are eight other prize levels in the Powerball game. Players can win prizes by matching as few as two white balls or one white ball and the Powerball number. The odds of winning any prize in the Powerball game are 1 in 24.9.
The Powerball game has been played since 1992. The largest Powerball jackpot ever won was $1.586 billion, which was won by three ticket holders in January 2016.
Powerball Fever
When the Powerball jackpot gets high, it seems like everyone is playing. People who never normally play the lottery suddenly buy tickets, and people who do play regularly buy more tickets than usual. This phenomenon is known as "Powerball fever."
There are a few reasons why Powerball fever happens. First, the jackpots can get very high, which makes people dream of what they would do with all that money. Second, the game is easy to play. Anyone can buy a ticket and choose their numbers. Third, the drawings are held twice a week, which gives people more chances to win.
Powerball fever can be a lot of fun. It's exciting to think about what you would do if you won the jackpot. However, it's important to remember that the odds of winning are very low. So, don't spend more money than you can afford to lose.

For many people, the Powerball jackpot is a dream come true. It's a chance to win a life-changing amount of money. If you win the jackpot, you could quit your job, buy a new house, or travel the world. You could help your family and friends, or donate money to charity. The possibilities are endless.
