What is Powerball Lotto?
On April 22, 1992, the first 파워볼 사이트 drawing took place. At that time, the starting jackpot was at least two million dollars. This amount continued to increase over time.

How does the Powerball game system work?
The Powerball jackpot today always starts at $40 million. If a drawing does not result in a winner, the amount will automatically be increased by $10 million or more. As is usual with lotteries, sometimes several winners have to share the main prize. So if two, three, four or more people guessed all the numbers correctly, they get equal shares of the jackpot.
The participants have to tick five out of a total of 69 digits on a number field. On a second number field there are 26 digits to choose from, one of which is selected. The second tip determines the eponymous Powerball. The jackpot is only cracked if all the numbers typed match. There are generally two options when it comes to distribution.
On the one hand, the sum can be spent all at once, on the other hand, payment in installments can be arranged as an alternative. With the one-off payment, the total amount is smaller than with the installment payment. The latter is paid in 30 annual installments.
