Each player chooses five numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball. You can also have the lottery machine generate a quick voting slip with random numbers.

Prizes vary from $4 for matching the Powerball, to $1 million for matching all five white balls (except in California), to the jackpot for matching all six balls. You can view all winning payouts here on the Powerball website.
