The Virgin Islands Lottery is 1 of 47 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the Powerball game – in this case the Virgin Islands Powerball – as part of its overall portfolio of lottery games.
Powerball is a Multi-State USA Lottery that is run by the MUSL – Multi State Lottery Association and is one of the largest lottery games in the world – having produced a record jackpot in January 2016 of an incredible US$ 1.58 BILLION. This is the biggest lottery jackpot ever won to date in the history of world jackpot lotto games and also the biggest won so far on a single ticket.
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 Virgin Islands Lottery 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 VI Lottery Powerball game from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers are drawn from 59 white balls and then 1 number (the Powerball) is drawn from 35 red balls.
