"The MA Powerball – Every Wednesday & Saturday from the Mass Lottery"
The Massachusetts Lottery is 1 of 47 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the Powerball game – in this case the Mass Powerball – as part of its overall portfolio of lottery games.
Powerball is a Multi-State USA Lottery that is run & syndicated across the USA by the MUSL – Multi State Lottery Association – and is one of the largest lottery games in the world having produced a record jackpot of an incredible US$ 1.586 BILLION in January 2016. This is the largest lottery jackpot ever won so far in the history of jackpot lottery games having easily beaten the Mega Millions record jackpot at the time 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 after the game changed its format and name from Lotto America which had originally started on February 13th 1988.
The MA Powerball first began back on January 31st 2010 when the Mega Millions consortium – of which the Mass Lottery is a member – entered into a cross-selling agreement with the MUSL – allowing the ticket sales of Powerball in Mega Millions States and Mega Millions in Powerball States.
The Massachusetts 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 at least US$ 10 Million each time – making for some huge jackpot figures.
6 numbers are drawn in total for the MA Powerball game from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers from 59 white balls are drawn and then 1 number (the Powerball) from 35 red balls.
Draws for the Massachusetts Powerball take place twice every week on and Saturdays at 10.59pm EST.
