About Powerball:

Powerball tickets are $2 per play. Tickets are sold in the District of Columbia, 45 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. More than half of all proceeds from the sale of a Powerball ticket remain in the jurisdiction where the ticket was sold. Drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 pm ET from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. Drawings are also live streamed on Powerball.com.

Powerball is available at all DC Lottery retail locations, on the DC iLottery platform, and on the DC Lottery app.
