"The VT Powerball – Twice every week from the Vermont Lottery"
The Vermont Lottery is 1 of 47 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the Powerball game – in this case the Vermont 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$ 1.58 BILLION. This is the largest lottery jackpot ever won to date in the history of world jackpot lottery games and – vastly eclipsing the previous record jackpot of US$ 656 MILLION set by Mega Millions 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.
Tickets for the VT Powerball were first sold on July 1st 2003 when the Vermont Lottery became the 33rd member to join the MUSL – Multi State Lottery Association – who run & syndicate the game across the United States of America.
The Vermont 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 by a minimum of US$ 10 Million each time – creating some huge jackpot figures.
6 numbers are drawn in total for the VT 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 Vermont Powerball Lottery take place twice every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10.59pm EST.
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

Playing using the Powerball POWER PLAY facility – you are able to multiply your winnings on these levels by 2x, 3x or 4x – greatly increasing the amount you will take home.
