Jackpot of US Powerball successfully claimed
The US Powerball jackpot has reached an astonishing $997.6 million, making it the largest lottery jackpot ever won. This colossal prize has been growing since August, thanks to the rollover mechanism, increasing ticket sales, and the extremely low odds of winning.
Players from South Africa can join the excitement online through various betting sites. Besides the Powerball, other lotteries available for online play include UK 49s, Go Sloto, SA National lotteries, and more.
To play the Powerball, you need to select five numbers between 1 and 69 (white balls) and one Powerball number between 1 and 26 (red ball). For an extra chance to boost your winnings, consider the Power Play option for $1 extra, which multiplies non-jackpot wins by up to x10.
The Powerball is organised by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). The draw takes place three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59pm EST.
The recent draw on 8 November 2022 saw one lucky ticket purchased in California claim the jackpot. In addition to the jackpot winner, twenty-two players each won $1 million by matching all five numbers. A ticket from Florida won $2 million by matching all five numbers and having the Power Play option.
Joe Chahayed, a business owner, also celebrated a win, earning a $1 million Powerball bonus prize for selling the winning ticket. The winner has 60 days to decide between an annuity payment over 29 years or a cash lump sum.
