"The Powerball Colorado – Twice each week from the Colorado Lottery"

Jackpots start off at US$ 40 Million and rollover after each draw when the top prize is not won – increasing in size by at least US$ 10 Million each time – making for some enormous jackpot figures.
6 numbers are drawn in total for the CO Powerball game from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers from 69 white balls are drawn and then 1 number (the powerball) from 26 red balls.
