How Powerball Works

Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Tickets cost $2 per play, and players can add the Power Play option for an additional $1 to multiply non-jackpot prizes.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million. The overall odds of winning any prize are about 1 in 24.9. While the jackpot is the headline, the vast majority of players who win something take home smaller prizes in the $4 to $100 range.

Maryland Lottery Track Record

Maryland Lottery players have had success in recent years. In 2025, a Maryland resident won a $2 million Powerball prize, and the state has produced multiple million-dollar winners across various lottery games. Maryland lottery proceeds fund public education, with billions of dollars contributed to schools since the lottery's inception.

How to Claim Your Prize

Lottery officials remind players to sign the back of their tickets, keep them in a safe place, and check their numbers carefully. Winners of prizes over $600 must claim their winnings at a Maryland Lottery office, while smaller prizes can be claimed at retailers.
