About Powerball
Want to try a lottery game with the chance to win a life-changing jackpot? The UK Powerball offers players the opportunity to win big prizes by matching the numbers drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Here you can find out how to play UK Powerball, when draws take place, the prizes available, your chances of winning, and the useful statistics to help you learn more about the game.
UK Powerball draws take place three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday mornings at 04:00 AM.
Powerball
To enter Powerball, players pay £4 and select their chosen 5 numbers from 1 to 69, plus 1 Powerball number from 1 to 26. Alternatively, players can opt for a Lucky Dip. The aim is to match as many numbers as possible in the draw, with the largest prize awarded to those who match all the required numbers.
Despite the lower prize tiers being different from the American equivalents, the game uses the same numbers drawn from Tallahassee, Florida. All lower prizes, except for the Match 2 and Match 5 tiers will be estimated amounts, depending on the total of players in a draw and currency exchange rate.
Although this lottery grants the potential to make a player a billionaire, winners of the UK Powerball jackpot will not win a lump sum. Instead, they will receive payments over the course of 30 years like games such as Set For Life. The odds to win overall is 1 in 14, while the odds to win the jackpot are 292,000,000 to 1.
Tickets for the UK Powerball first went on sale in July 2026, making it the first time that this lottery game based in Florida would be available outside of the United States.
