Introduction
The lottery was introduced in the U.S. by King James I in order to help fund the development of the Jamestown colony. In the 1970s the scratch card lottery became a very widespread and popular way for everyone to participate in lotteries, and in 1992 the Powerball had its first drawing.
Alongside Megamillions, it is present in 45 U.S states as well as Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. It is also the lottery to have the highest jackpot in history when 3 people from California, Tennessee, and Florida won a total of $1.58 Billion.
The winner is determined through biweekly drawings on Wednesday and Saturday, and if the numbers on the ticket match all 5 numbers and the Powerball number, then it’s a jackpot. The jackpot will continue to grow if there are no winners at the time of the drawing. The latest jackpot was won by a Pennsylvanian on August 3, 2022, who bagged a jackpot of $122,361,080 in cash.
