Lottery Director Cindy Polzin noted, "large jackpots create excitement, and that's fun for everyone," she said. "Wisconsin homeowners are big winners as well because lottery proceeds go toward property tax relief."
A lucky winner in Wednesday's Powerball drawing could choose to take a cash payout of $291 million. The last time the game had a big jackpot was in August, when a player in Massachusetts won $758.7 million.

How to Play
Tickets must be purchased by 9 p.m. on Wednesday and Saturday to be included in the drawing:

• Each ticket costs $2 per play
• Choose five different numbers 1 to 69 and one Powerball number 1 to 26
• Sign your ticket and check it as soon as possible to avoid missing out on any prize you may have won.

While the jackpot gets the most attention, there are other prizes to be won in Powerball. Prizes range from $4 for matching just the Powerball to $1 million for matching all five numbers (but not the Powerball).
'For an extra $1 per play, you can choose Power Play to increase your non-jackpot winnings which will be multiplied by the drawing's Power Play number. For example, if your prize is $50,000 and the Power Play number is 5, you win $250,000 just by adding Power Play. The $1 million prize automatically becomes $2 million with Power Play.
