The Powerball is a U.S lottery game that began on
April 19th, 1992, and was coordinated by the MLSA. The Powerball is offered in 45 states and the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Originally
Powerball was called "Lotto America" and was only offered in just a handful
of states. Back in 1992, the Powerball was available in just 15 states i.e., Iowa,
Kansas, Missouri, Oregon, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana,
Louisiana, Maine, New Hampshire, Delaware, South Dakota, Montana, and
Washington D.C. Lotto America was
renamed to the Powerball in 1992 and began to expand to other states giving lottery
players the chance to become a millionaire or billionaire depending upon the
Powerball Jackpot and if you match any of the 6 winning Powerball Numbers.
