The USA Powerball is an inter-state lottery operated by the
Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). It is played in a total of 29
states, as well as the Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia. This
makes it the premier lottery game in the United States.
Join this absolutely huge USA Powerball lottery, with regular
massive jackpots that routinely payout over $50 million. The second
prize is set at a whopping $200,000. The live draw is broadcast on over
100 TV stations across the country, so get your tickets and get caught
up in the excitement - winning would surely be your ticket to the kind
of life you`ve only ever dreamt of. You can purchase multi play tickets
weeks in advance of the draw and specify the dates on which you wish to
enter.
As a rule of thumb, around 30c in each dollar in ticket purchases
goes into the jackpot pool. The jackpot is carried over each week that
there is no winner. When you purchase a ticket you choose 5 numbers plus
a powerball number. In order to win the jackpot you need to match all
six numbers. The powerball is drawn from a separate number pool.
Tax laws have been altered to allow you up to 60 days to decide on
whether you want to take a cash payment or an annuity amount for
winnings other the jackpot - it is no longer necessary for you to
specify this when you purchase your tickets. |
