The Powerball jackpot has grown to another astronomical number. You may wonder how many other lottery players are you up against?  What states play Powerball?

It's actually easier to run down the states that don't do Powerball.  The multi-state lottery is conducted in 42 states plus Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The eight states that don't offer Powerball are:  Alabama, Mississippi, Nevada, Wyoming, Utah, Alaska and Hawaii as none of those states have any lottery games.  California only plays Mega Millions and not Powerball.
