The eighth-largest Powerball jackpot in the game’s history is nearing the $1 billion mark, reaching an estimated $905 million with a cash value of $391.9 million for the Monday, Aug. 10, drawing.

The last time anyone won the Powerball jackpot was on May 2, when winning tickets in Texas and Florida split a $20 million jackpot, fueling a rollover streak that has turned a modest prize into one of the year’s largest lottery payouts. The growing jackpot also comes as Powerball undergoes its biggest expansion in years.

For the first time, players in the United Kingdom can buy tickets and compete for the same top prize, potentially bringing millions of new players into the game.

Here is what you need to know about Monday night’s Powerball drawing.

How to play Powerball

Powerball tickets are $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

You can do this at a variety of locations, including a local convenience store, gas station, or even a grocery store. In some states, Powerball tickets can be bought online depending on local jurisdiction.

Once you have your ticket, you need to pick six numbers. Five of them will be white balls numbered 1 to 69. The red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26.

People can also add a “Power Play” for $1, which increases the winnings for all non-jackpot prizes. The “Power Play” multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.

If you want the computer to select the numbers, the “Quick Pick” option is available, as well. To win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.

If no one wins the jackpot, the cash prize will increase.

Do you have to be a US citizen or US resident to play Powerball?

The short answer is no.

When visiting one of the 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, anyone, regardless of nationality, can purchase lottery tickets from an authorized and licensed retailer if they meet the legal age requirement at the point of purchase – usually 18 years old.

Powerball’s biggest expansion in years

British players are now competing for the same jackpot as U.S. participants, though there are several key differences in how tickets are sold and prizes are paid out.

Powerball tickets cost 4 British pounds in the United Kingdom, or about $5.32, compared with $2 in the United States. While U.K. ticket sales contribute to the shared jackpot, lower-tier prizes are awarded through a separate prize structure.

Jackpot payouts differ as well. U.S. winners can choose a lump-sum cash option or annual payments over 30 years. U.K. winners will receive annual payments over 30 years through the U.K. National Lottery.
