The next draw is scheduled for Saturday, March 23, writes USA Today.
The Powerball jackpot has been held since December 2018, when a ticket purchased in New York tore off the previous main prize of this lottery in 298,3 million dollars. With each draw, which does not win the jackpot, its amount increases.
Lottery fever covers the USA several times a year. The last major surge in interest in the lottery was after a woman from South Carolina in October 2018 won the Mega Millions top prize at 1,5 billion dollars. Taking her money, she wished to preserve anonymity. After this draw at the points of sale, queues formed of those who wanted to buy Mega Millions tickets.
The current Powerball jackpot exceeding half a billion has also led to a surge in popularity of this lottery.
According to the Powerball website, the probability of winning the jackpot is 1 to 292 201 338. At the same time, approximately 1 out of every 24,87 ticket sold. Powerball wins a prize - a minimum of 4 dollars.
Winners usually have from 90 days to one year to claim their right to win, depending on the jurisdiction of the sale. Expiry dates are indicated on the back of tickets.
Powerball is played in the 44 states, as well as in Washington, DC, in Puerto Rico, and in the US Virgin Islands. Tickets cost $ 2.
