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.

A Powerball ticket sold in Texas won $50,000 but just missed the $462 million jackpot, lottery officials say. The ticket matched four winning numbers and the Powerball in the drawing Monday, March 24, the Texas Lottery said. The lucky ticket was sold at a Timewise Food Store in Houston, lottery officials said in a statement to McClatchy News.
