POWERBALL© has definitely earned its spot as a favorite in West Virginia’s Lottery lineup. With substantial jackpots and the ability to now play online across the state, this national draw game provides multiple opportunities to try your chances for the POWERBALL jackpot throughout the week. Let’s look at what makes POWERBALL© so popular with West Virginia players.
A nationwide game
As a multi-state Lottery game available in 48 U.S. jurisdictions including West Virginia, POWERBALL© offers jackpots that start at $20 million and have the potential to keep growing. That’s right – when nobody matches all six numbers, the prize rolls over to the next drawing, sometimes reaching some of the highest amounts in U.S. Lottery history.
The national media coverage POWERBALL© receives helps keep it relevant throughout West Virginia. Its substantial starting jackpot and regular rollovers make the game a stand-out way to try your chances in West Virginia.
How to play POWERBALL©
To play POWERBALL©, you pick five white ball numbers from one to 69 and one red POWERBALL© number from one to 26. Drawings happen three times every week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings.
Each play costs $2, but you could choose to add the Power Play option for an extra $1, applying a multiplier to non-jackpot prizes. This multiplier can range from 2x to 10x depending on the draw. There are eight other prize tiers available even if you don’t match all six numbers, and Power Play has the potential to boost those non-jackpot prizes further.
Play in person or online
You can purchase tickets for the POWERBALL© draw at any licensed Lottery retailer in West Virginia, at Lottery vending machines, or through the official West Virginia Lottery website and mobile app.
Online, you can select numbers, manage your entries, and check results from the secure platform. You’ll also find features like auto-renewal if you wish to play multiple draws. This makes participation more straightforward from your phone, desktop or compatible device.
Reliable and responsible gameplay
By using the official West Virginia Lottery website or app, you can rest assured that you’ll have secure gameplay, access to official results, and compliance with local regulations.
You can also use online tools like deposit limits and time management to help you manage your gameplay.
Supporting West Virginia communities
When you play POWERBALL© through the West Virginia Lottery, you’re also helping fund programs for education and infrastructure across the state. A portion of every ticket sold directly supports initiatives that benefit West Virginians.
