"The NE Powerball – Twice a week from the Nebraska Lottery"
The Nebraska Lottery is 1 of 47 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the Powerball game – in this case the Nebraska 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 biggest lottery jackpot ever to have been won to date in the history of jackpot lotto games around the world and easily beat the existing Mega Millions record 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 had started on February 13th 1988.
Nebraska Powerball tickets were first sold on July 21st 1994 when the Nebraska Lottery became the 18th member of the MUSL – Multi State Lottery Association – who run and syndicate the game across the USA.
The Nebraska 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 enormous jackpot figures.
6 numbers are drawn in total for the NE 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 NE Powerball take place twice every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8.59pm MST, 9.59pm CST (10.59pm EST).
