Powerball drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday. To participate in this game, each player needs to pick five (white) numbers from 1 to 69 and a (red) Powerball number from 1 to 26. After winning the jackpot by matching all six numbers (5 white numbers and 1 red number), a punter can collect the full amount in 30 installments over 29 years or a lump sum payment. The one-time payment is smaller than the actual total amount as the winner is likely to pay 25 percent of his/her winnings as the federal tax in order to collect the lump sum payment.
