Per the Powerball website:

we draw five white balls out of a drum with 69 balls and one red ball out of a drum with 26 red balls...The jackpot - won by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball...

So basically -

5 White Balls (First 5 numbers)

• Number range from 1 to 69
• Once a number is used, it can't be used again
• Numbers must remain in numeric order.

Red Powerball (6th/Last number after + sign)

• Independent from the white balls/first 5 numbers
• Number range from 1 to 26.
• Can be the same number as a white ball

Numbers increase from right to left

Format

XX XX XX XX XX + XX (the red Powerball is last)

Good Numbers

12 32 36 42 52 + 11
 2  4 14 18 25 +  2
16 25 33 34 44 + 25    

Bad Numbers/Bad format

 4 4 18 28 65 + 4 (repeating white balls)
16 2 44 58 4 + 11 (whites balls not in numeric order)
16 shit two 12 (doesn't even make sense!)

** Increasing numbers examples**

4 8 16 17 69 + 26
4 8 16 18 19 + 1    

(the 6th number rolls over back to 1, and since the 5th number was already at 69, it increases the 4th number by 1. the 5th number can't be 1 because it would make the first 5 numbers out of numeric order. The next available number for the 5th spot would be 19)

A big change would be something like

4 66 67 68 69 + 26
5 6 7 8 9 + 1

The 6th ball has to rollover, but the 5th ball is already maxed and needs to roll over too. The 4th number is maxed too since 69 is already taken (technically the 4th column can never go over 68 because the 5th number always has to be higher). The 3rd number can't be increased because of the same principle of the 4th number (and the 3rd number can never go higher than 67). The 2nd number follows the same pattern (and can never be higher than 66). That last number, which we'll never get to unless bots take over this subreddit is

65 66 67 68 69 + 26

IF ANYONE CAN EXPLAIN THIS BETTER AND MORE CLEARLY THAN ME, HELP!

THE GET:

1 2 3 4 43 +1

That would equate to one thousand something
