"The MT Powerball – Twice every week from the Montana Lottery"
The Montana Lottery is 1 of 47 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the Powerball game – in this case the Montana Powerball – as part of its overall portfolio of lottery games.
Powerball is a Multi-State USA Lottery that is run by the Multi State Lottery Association – MUSL – and is one of the largest lottery games in the world having produced a record jackpot of US$ 1.58 BILLION in January 2016. This incredible sum is the biggest lottery jackpot ever won to date in the history of lottery jackpot games around the world and easily beat the Mega Millions jackpot record of US$ 656 MILLION from March 2012.
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 had started on February 13th 1988.
The MT Powerball began operations on April 22nd 1992 when the Powerball lottery game was initially launched – as the Montana Lottery was already a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) – having become the 9th state to join on November 9th 1989.
The Montana 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 – rising in size each time by at least US$ 10 Million – making for some massive jackpot figures.
6 numbers are drawn in total for the MT 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 Montana Powerball take place twice every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8.59pm MST (10.59pm EST).
