Playing the Missouri Powerball Lottery

The Missouri Powerball Lottery

If you have ever played the lottery before, then you know that the only real way to increase your odds of winning the Missouri Powerball lottery is to purchase more tickets. Unless you can predict the future or go backwards or forwards in time, it is impossible to predict what the next Missouri Powerball result will be. However, it is easy to predict that you will have a good time watching the drawing as you hold your potentially winning Powerball ticket in hand. Even as you cross off the numbers, you will still hold on to that last bit of hope all the way through until the final MO Powerball number pops up.

Winning the Missouri Powerball Lottery

Missouri Lottery Powerball is one of the most popular lottery games available in the entire state. The big draw of the Powerball lottery is its extraordinarily large jackpots and rollovers, along with the fairly good possibility of winning at least enough money to purchase a few more tickets. In fact, one out of every thirty-seven tickets purchased is a winner of some kind, even if it only wins three dollars. You can take home a three dollar prize just for matching the Missouri Powerball number even without matching anything else.

How to Play the Missouri Powerball Lottery

However, to win the big prize, you have to match all six Missouri Lottery Power Ball numbers. This means that you must match five numbers between one and fifty-five and one number between one and forty-two. If you do this, you can win several hundred million dollars; especially if there have been a lot of jackpot rollovers. No matter what, if you win the jackpot you will instantly become a millionaire. That said, you should be aware that it is extremely rare to match all six numbers. However, your chances of matching five out of six are slightly better, and doing that in the Missouri Powerball lottery game can win you more than two hundred thousand dollars.

Missouri offers players the popular Mega Millions lottery and may offer players Powerball in the near future. In 1992 Missouri voters passed an amendment that earmarked all lottery money for public education so players who purchase lottery tickets are donating to a good cause. Missouri lotto newbies wondering where to buy lottery tickets can log on to the Missouri lottery website and find the location of the nearest lotto retailer. At the present time the Missouri lottery does not sell online lottery tickets but once legal problems are worked out at the federal level most states are expected to allow players to buy lotto tickets online.
