Can you win the Powerball jackpot with that?
One ticket in 292,201,338 hits the Powerball jackpot. Most people never find out what that number feels like. Enter a bankroll, choose your numbers, and let the simulator play drawing after drawing — up to millions per second — until the money runs out or the jackpot finally lands.

How this works
Each drawing pulls five white balls from 1–69 and one red Powerball from 1–26 and scores them against your ticket using the real prize table. Every line costs the standard $2 per drawing, and a slip can carry up to 10 lines — each one is scored separately. At the slow speeds you watch one drawing at a time; at "Ludicrous," drawings are batched between screen repaints, so your machine runs as many as it can each frame. Your bankroll only pays for tickets: winnings are added up separately in "Won" and "Win/loss" and never go back into the bankroll, so it runs out exactly when you've spent what you said you would.
"Real time" converts the drawing count into how long it would take to play them for real, at three drawings a week. It counts drawings, not tickets: a 10-line slip still covers just one drawing, so adding lines raises your cost per week, not the calendar time.
Power Play adds $1 to each line. Before each drawing, a separate drawing picks one multiplier for everyone: 2× from 24 of its balls, 3× from 13, 4× from 3, 5× from 2, plus a single 10× ball that's only included when the advertised jackpot is $150 million or less. That multiplier applies to every non-jackpot prize except matching all five white balls, which pays a flat $2 million instead of $1 million. The jackpot itself is never multiplied. Over the long run the extra $1 returns about 46¢ in prizes (50¢ when 10× is in play), against about 16¢ per dollar for the fixed prizes on the base $2 ticket. So it's the better-value part of the ticket, but you still lose about half of every Power Play dollar.
