how to read a powerball ticket?

Question

I bought a powerball ticket and it looks so complicated!  
It has a set of numbers and then a separate set  
then a 'points for prizes code' 
and then some other numbers under that!  
Do all the numbers have to match to win anything 
or if you get a couple can that win something?

The only numbers you need to concentrate on are the 6 numbers on each line. The numbers should be in black, all the other numbers you don't have to worry about. For example if you bought 2 tickets the ticket would look like this......

A - 6, 12, 18, 24, 32, PB 7
B - 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, PB 6

PB = the powerball number, that's the last number drawn

Line A and Line B are seperate tickets, you can't mix numbers between the different lines

All the numbers have to match to win the Jackpot but there are other prizes..............

5 matches AND the Powerball number = Jackpot $$$$$$$$$$$$
5 matches, not including the Powerball number = $1,000,000
4 matches AND the Powerball number = $10,000
4 matches, not including the Powerball number = $100
3 matches AND the Powerball number = $100
3 matches. not including the Powerball number = $7
2 matches AND the Powerball number = $7
1 match AND the Powerball number = $4
Match only the Powerball number = $4

You played the quick pick numbers, as well as an power play  for each ticket. I would say talk to the cashier then choose wether to play or not.
