"The Idaho Lottery Powerball – Twice every week from the Idaho Lottery"
The Idaho Lottery is 1 of 47 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the Powerball game – in this particular case the Idaho Powerball – as part of its overall portfolio of lottery games.
Powerball is a Multi-State USA Lottery game that is run by the MUSL – Multi State Lottery Association who run and syndicate the game across the USA – and is one of the largest lottery games in the world having produced the biggest ever jackpot the world has seen on January 13th 2016 with an outstanding US$ 1.586 BILLION – shattering the existing record Mega Millions jackpot of US$ 656 Million.
The very first Powerball draw took place on April 22nd 1992 with 16 USA Lottery companies – who were all members of the MUSL – taking part when the game changed its format and name from Lotto America which started on February 13th 1988.
The Idaho Lottery Powerball was first sold on April 22nd 1992 when the Powerball game was launched – as the Idaho Lottery was already an Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) member – having been the 10th state to join on February 1st 1990.
The Idaho Powerball works in the same way as the Powerball game works in all the States and Districts in the US that offer the game.
Jackpots start off at US$ 40 Million and rollover after each draw when the top prize is not won – increasing in size by a minimum of US$ 10 Million each time – making for some huge jackpot figures.
6 numbers are drawn in total for the Powerball Idaho game from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers from 69 white balls are drawn and then 1 number (the Powerball) from 26 red balls.
Draws for the Idaho Lottery Powerball take place twice every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8.59pm MST (10.59pm EST).
