What is the American PowerBall?
PowerBall is a lotto (number-selective) lottery issued twice a week in a total of 47 regions, including 44 US states and 2 US territories including the capital Washington DC and Puerto Rico . It began on sale in 1988 under the name Roto America and was changed to its current name in 1992. Since November 2015, there have been no winners for 18 consecutive weeks, and the first prize money has continued to accumulate until January 9, 2016, and the first prize has soared to a record high of $900 million (about 1.8 trillion won).
