Even if you didn't match all five numbers and the Powerball, you shouldn't tear your ticket up or throw it away. You still could be a winner if you matched even a couple of numbers.
According to the official Powerball website, anyone who matches three or more numbers, or just the Powerball, walks away with a prize. Match at least one number and the Powerball, and you're a winner.
The following is a break down of what you can win, depending upon how many numbers you picked correctly:
