There are nine different ways to win Powerball prizes in every draw, based on how many numbers you match. You can win $4 just for matching the Powerball, while the jackpot is won by matching all five main numbers plus the Powerball. The top prize starts at $20 million and increases every time it is not won.
If there are multiple winners of the jackpot, it will be shared equally between them. The eight prizes below the jackpot are fixed amounts, so for these prizes there is a guaranteed payout regardless of how many winning players there are. Go to the Powerball Numbers page to see the latest prize payouts.

How Prizes Are FundedPrizes are funded by ticket sales. The portion of revenue set aside for the payment of prizes is expected to be 50 percent of sales (with the rest distributed to public services, retailer commissions and operating costs).
A percentage of the prize fund is allocated to each category, but this is a maximum amount as all the payouts below the jackpot are fixed. The exact percentage allocated to prizes may therefore be higher or lower than 50 percent. A maximum of 68.013 percent of the prize fund can be given to the jackpot fund, as required to meet the advertised amount.
Each state contributes equally to the prize pot and payouts are the same everywhere, with the exception of California. In the Golden State, law dictates that prizes he to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis. The table below shows the amount allocated to each prize category (if the amount to be paid out in set prizes exceeds the ailable prize fund, prizes may he to be reduced).
