South Dakota Lottery Powerball
The South Dakota Lottery is 1 of 47 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the Powerball game – in this case the South 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 of an incredible US$ 1.58 BILLION in January 2016. This is the biggest jackpot ever to have been won so far in the history of world jackpot lotteries – more than doubling the existing Mega Millions record jackpot 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 SD Powerball began operations on April 22nd 1992 when the Powerball was launched – as the South Dakota Lottery was already a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) – having already become the 14th state to join back on November 15th 1990.
SD Powerball – How it Works
The South 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 every time by at least US$ 10 Million – making for some massive jackpot figures.
6 numbers are drawn in total for the South Dakota Power Ball 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 South Dakota Powerball Lottery take place twice every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9.59pm CST (8.59pm MST).
There is also a Powerball prize multiplier facility available when playing that dramatically increases the size of a Powerball win and is called Powerball POWERPLAY...
POWERPLAY
The Powerball POWERPLAY option is a fixed prize multiplier and will automatically increase the Powerball win to at least double the original amount – and is there to give players of the South Dakota Lottery Powerball a chance to increase their winnings on all levels of the prize structure apart from the South Dakota Powerball jackpot itself.
