Powerball is not new to America; in fact it originated in 1988 and was initially known as Lotto America and it was not until 1992 that it got its new nomenclature — Powerball. Over the years it has evolved and changed the way that lottery games are played in America.

January 2016 – The USA Powerball Lottery Jackpot Grew to $1.6 Billion!

Powerball Lottery – Americas Biggest Jackpots!

This lottery game is often referred to as a “multi-state game” where even if you don’t win the Grand Prize, there’s always ways enough to put a few dollars into your pocket. Jackpots start at a cool $40 million- an amount that keeps growing if a jackpot is not won during a particular draw. Powerball drawings are held twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday nights.

In the most recent Powerball drawing on June 24th 2016, there was no jackpot winner– (won by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball- but there were lucky players who matched the first five numbers and walked away with $1,000,000 prize money. In case a person wins the jackpot, payment is either made as a lump sum or as an annual payment.

The next draw is stated to be on 29th of June 2016 and the current estimated jackpot is $222 million.

To play the game, you have to choose five numbers from 1-69 and one Red Powerball number from 1-26 and get these numbers marked on your ticket.

All you need to get going is buy a ticket and of course favors from ‘Dame Luck’. Although the lottery numbers are drawn rather randomly, they follow certain patterns and mathematicians say that the “key to winning” is solidly based on the theory of ‘probability’.

Of course one doesn’t have to know mathematics to identify this—your chances of being in the draw’s winning line is to opt for ‘hot numbers’–those that show up frequently in a draw rather than ‘cold numbers’ that don’t seem to make it to the headlines in the game. If you can’t choose the numbers, just allow the computer to pick them for you.

In case you do win the jackpot, you have a period of 60 days to decide in what form you want payment. In case you don’t exercise any option, then it will be automatically made an annuity payment. How June 2016 will affect lottery aficionados remains to be seen.
