More About Powerball
The US Powerball is one of the most popular lotteries, not just in Michigan, but around the world, and rightfully so. As a rollover lottery, if nobody wins a jackpot, it simply rolls over to the next draw, taking with it the potential to change ticket holder’s lives. The longer no one scoops a jackpot, the higher it climbs, rendering Powerball one of the most lucrative games on our globe.
The US Powerball is a multi-state lottery, famous for massive jackpots. The Powerball kicked off in 1988 and was called Lotto America up until it was renamed Powerball in 1992. The biggest win to date was $1.6 billion which was split among 3 winners in January 2016.
US Powerball is owned and operated by the non-profit Multi-State Lottery Association. What this means is that more than 40 member states run the games, with each state keeping ticket profits bought in its state. This also means that taxes on Powerball wins differ from one state to another.
The popular lottery uses 2 machines, each with its own set of numbers. To play, you must select 5 numbers out of 69 and 1 number from a set of 26. Match all six of the drawn numbers, and the jackpot is yours! The Power Play option multiplies your winnings.
The Powerball is played by millions of players every week and boasts a minimum guaranteed jackpot of $40 million. Lucky winners, whether you scoop the big jackpot or another tier prize, have a year to claim their winnings. Unclaimed prizes are plowed into the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund which then funnels funds out to various charities. Each state, however, has different rules for what happens to unclaimed prize money.
April 2020: Based on the recent changes, the guaranteed starting jackpot and minimum jackpot roll increase between draws have been removed. They now depend entirely on ticket sales and interest rates.
