Powerball jackpot tickets are high-in-demand. Tickets sale has an immense acceleration as the jackpot passes half-billion mark. With an estimated $340.1 million cash payout, the August 19 draw has turned into the eighth-largest lottery jackpot in the history and fifth-largest Powerball jackpot in history. Ticket sales are open up to 9:59 pm and the drawing will take place at 11 pm.

A player can buy the tickets for this draw by 10:00 pm. Each Powerball ticket costs $2 per play. A player needs to choose five different numbers from 1 to 69, and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. Powerball prizes are delivered after the tickets (signed by the player) are claimed, and validated by the prize distribution committee.

The Prize range starts from $4 and reaches to $1 million. A contestant can choose Power Play to increase his/her winnings. Power Play number multiplies the non-jackpot winnings. Interestingly, this rule is not applicable for $1 million prizes. A $1 million prize becomes $2 million with Power Play number.
