As of July 7th, 2010, NJ Powerball costs $1 per ticket. Players must select five numbers from a set of the 59 white balls and one number from a set of the 39 the PowerBalls, players must select five numbers for each ticket bought. Players can select their numbers on their own or they can have the automatically generate one or more of their numbers, New Jersey's Lottery calls this a "quick pick". For each drawing, the winning numbers are selected in the same fashion using two ball machines; one contains white balls numbered 1 through 59, and the second contains the red Powerballs numbered 1 through 39. Five balls are drawn from the first machine, and one from the second machine; these become the official winning numbers. Tickets which match at least three white balls and/or the red Powerball are winners.
The order of the selection of the white numbers is irrelevant and all tickets have those selections printed in numerical order. Players do not have to match the white numbers in draw order, but they cannot use the drawn Powerball number to match one of their white numbers selections, or vice versa. It is possible for the same number to be drawn as both a white number and the Powerball in the same drawing. - Mega Millions
