The biggest-ever Powerball prize was up for grabs in 2022 after months without a jackpot winner.

One lucky person became $2.04 billion richer after the November drawing.

But even if you don't win the jackpot, there are several ways to emerge victorious and a little richer. One lucky winner snagged a winning ticket in the Powerball lottery's record-breaking $2.04 billion jackpot in an unprecedented November 2022 drawing. Lottery officials announced a winning ticket for the November 8 drawing was purchased in Los Angeles County, California. The hefty prize is the largest pool in the game's 30-year history after more than three months of consecutive drawings passed without a winner since early August 2022. But even if the billion-dollar jackpot evaded you then, there are several other ways to emerge richer in future games. For the uninitiated Powerball players who decide to impulsively purchase a ticket, we're here to break down all the possible ways you can win. You know, just in case. First, the basics: The Powerball lotto is made up of six total numbers randomly selected three times per week. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. EST, a live drawing is held. All the numbers are printed on white or red balls and placed into an automated machine, which spits out the winning digits. The first five numbers (white) are between 1 and 69. The final number (red) is called the Powerball. It can be anywhere between 1 and 26. When purchasing a ticket, players can select all six numbers themselves or do a "quick pick" and receive a randomly generated set of numbers. Tickets are $2 each, but you can pay an extra $1 at the time of purchase to upgrade your ticket to "Power Play." The "Power Play" add-on means your cash prize will, at minimum, double if you have a winning ticket for anything other than the grand prize jackpot. So, what exactly are the winning tickets (aside from the jackpot)? The possible winning tickets and their cash prizes are as follows:

Match all 5 white numbers only — $1 million

Match 4 out of 5 white numbers + Powerball — $50,000

Match 4 white numbers only — $100

Match 3 white numbers + Powerball — $100

Match 3 white numbers only — $7

Match 2 white numbers + Powerball — $7

Match 1 white number + Powerball — $4

Powerball only — $4

The "Power Play" bonus is announced at the drawing time and does not apply to the jackpot winnings. If you've matched all five white numbers and selected "Power Play" at the time of your ticket purchase, you will win $2 million (instead of the standard $1 million). For all other prizes, the "Power Play" bonus will either be 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x your winnings. The overall odds of winning any of the prizes starting at $4 is 1 in 24.87. But the chance of walking away with the jackpot is much slimmer: 1 in 292 million. On the off-chance you do take home a lump sum, don't forget to hire a lawyer. Most states give players at least 180 days to come forward. Editor's note: This story was first published in January 2016 and has been updated to reflect recent developments.

Is there a trick to winning the lottery?

Lottery experts agree that the number one way to boost your chance of getting a winning ticket is to just get more tickets. Even though the probability of winning the lottery is low in general, the greater the amount of tickets you have, the more likely it is that one of these tickets will be the winner.

Question

So, I went to the convenience store and bought a scratch card for the chance to win $2 million. When I scratched off my card, I earned nothing! Why did this happen?
