Powerball's terrible odds of 1 in 292.
The largest jackpot was a $2.04 billion Powerball prize hit by a player in California in November 2022. In most states, a Powerball ticket costs $2 and players can select their own numbers or leave that task to a computer. Powerball is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
