"Powerball Washington – Twice each week from the Washington Lottery"
The Washington State Lottery is 1 of 47 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the Powerball game – in this case the Washington Powerball – as part of its overall portfolio of lottery games.
Powerball is a Multi-State USA Lottery that is run & syndicated across the USA by the MUSL – Multi State Lottery Association – and is one of the largest lottery games in the world having produced a record jackpot in January 2016 of an incredible US$ 1.58 BILLION. This is the biggest lottery jackpot ever won to date in the history of jackpot lottery games and completely outshone the existing US$ 656 MILLION Mega Millions jackpot record set in March 2012.
The very first Powerball draw took place on April 22nd 1992 with 16 USA Lottery companies – who were all members of the MUSL – taking part after the game changed its format and name from Lotto America which had originally started on February 13th 1988.
Washington Powerball tickets were first put on sale back on January 31st 2010 when the Mega Millions consortium – of which the Washington State Lottery is a member – entered into a cross-selling agreement with the MUSL – thus allowing lotto ticket sales of the Powerball Lottery within US Mega Millions States and the Mega Millions Lottery within Powerball States.
The Washington Powerball works in exactly the same way as the Powerball game works in all the States and Districts in the US that offer the game.
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 Washington State Power Ball from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers are drawn from 59 white balls and then 1 number (the Powerball) is drawn from 35 red balls.
Draws for the Washington Power Ball take place twice every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 7.59 PST (9.59pm MST).
There is also a Powerball prize multiplier facility available when playing that dramatically increases the size of a Washington Powerball win and is called Powerball POWERPLAY...

The Powerball POWERPLAY option is a fixed prize multiplier and will automatically increase the Powerball win to at least double the original amount – and is there to give players of the Powerball Washington a chance to increase their winnings on all levels of the prize structure apart from the Washington Power Ball jackpot itself.
With the Powerball POWER PLAY option – you are very easily able to multiply your winnings on these levels by 2x, 3x or 4x – greatly increasing the amount you will walk away with.
