POWERBALL© is one of the most popular draw games in the United States, with three draws every week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings. Jackpots start at $20 million and keep growing until someone matches all the numbers, so lots of people look forward to checking the results.
Once you’ve bought a POWERBALL ticket, knowing how and where to check your numbers matters. Today, checking results online is quick and easy. Here’s how you can do it.
Where to Find POWERBALL© Results online
The best way to check POWERBALL© results is through verified sources. These include:
- The West Virginia Lottery website or app – If you bought your ticket online through your state’s Lottery platform, results will be posted there shortly after each draw. Your online account might also notify you automatically if you have a winning combination. You can use the number checker page at the WV Lottery to verify your numbers.
- Powerball.com – The national POWERBALL© website posts results for every draw, including winning numbers and prize details.
Avoid third-party websites that might not have up-to-date or verified information. Stick with official Lottery providers when checking results.
How to Check Your Ticket Against The Results
Here’s what to look for when reviewing results online:
- Match your five white ball numbers – These are drawn from one to 69. Compare your numbers to the results.
- Check the red POWERBALL© number – Drawn from one to 26, this number determines prize levels.
- Review prize tiers – POWERBALL© has nine different prize levels, starting with $4 for matching just the POWERBALL©, all the way up to the jackpot for matching all five white balls plus the POWERBALL©.
- Look for the Power Play multiplier – If you added the Power Play option to your ticket, check the multiplier drawn for that night. It applies to all non-jackpot prizes and can increase them by up to ten times.
Using Your Online Lottery Account
If you bought your POWERBALL© ticket through your state’s Lottery website or app, you don’t need to compare numbers manually. Your account will show the results of each draw, and you’ll get a notification if your numbers match a prize tier. Winnings are processed through the platform, and larger prizes come with instructions for claiming them in person.
Other Ways to Confirm Results
While online platforms are the fastest way to check results, you can also:
- Watch the televised drawing on select local stations.
- Visit a licensed Lottery retailer to scan your ticket.
Still, checking online is usually the most convenient option, especially if you’re already logged in to your Lottery account.
