Powerball®
THE GAME THAT KEEPS GETTING BIGGER
Every Wednesday and Saturday night, Powerball® gives you a chance to play for a jackpot starting at $40,000,000.* The jackpot keeps building whenever there is no winner. The longer the jackpot goes without being hit, the bigger it grows. And the bigger it grows, the more exciting the drawings become! More and more Marylanders join in on the fun with each jackpot roll.
*As of April 3rd, 2020, until further notice: After a jackpot-winning Powerball ticket is sold, the starting jackpot amount for the next drawing will be determined by game sales and interest rates and will be announced prior to the drawing. There will be no minimum jackpot increase for each roll. Learn more about Powerball changes.
