"The ND Powerball – Twice each week from the ND Lottery"
The North Dakota Lottery is 1 of 47 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the Powerball game – in this case the North Dakota 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 in January 2016 of an incredible US$ 1.586 BILLION. This is the largest lottery jackpot ever won so far in world lottery jackpot history having smashed the previous US$ 656 MILLION Mega Millions record created in 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.
ND Powerball tickets were first sold on March 27th 2004 when the ND Lottery became the 28th member of the MUSL – Multi State Lottery Association – who run and syndicate the game across the majority of the USA.
The North Dakota 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 – climbing in size by a minimum of US$ 10 Million each time – creating some enormous jackpot figures.
6 numbers are drawn in total for the ND Powerball game from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers from 59 white balls are drawn followed by 1 number (the Powerball) from 35 red balls.
Draws for the North Dakota Powerball Lottery take place twice every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9.59pm CST (10.59pm EST).
