The two-drum concept was suggested by Steve Caputo of the Oregon Lottery. The drawings' host was longtime Iowa radio personality Mike Pace, who had hosted MUSL drawings since Lotto America began in 1988. A few weeks later, Georgia became the only jurisdiction to leave Powerball Maine, which joined MUSL in 1990, left when Powerball began. In August 1996, Georgia joined the then-new The Big Game, then the other major U. It planned to sell tickets for both games for the rest of 1996; but within days Georgia was removed from MUSL, not to return until the 2010 cross-sell expansion.

In 2008, Governor finally allowed Florida to join MUSL, on Jan 4, 2009. A wheel was introduced to select the Power Play multiplier for each drawing the next year, the 1x was removed from the Power Play wheel.

In October 2014, joined Powerball; the first mainly Spanish-speaking jurisdiction offering the game; as of 2016 it had not joined Mega Millions. While this improved the chance of winning any prize to 1 in 24, it also lengthened the jackpot odds to 1 in 292,201,338. In each game, players select five numbers from a set of 69 white balls and one number from 26 red Powerballs; the red ball number can be the same as one of the white balls. The drawing order of the five white balls is irrelevant; all tickets show the white ball numbers in ascending order. Players cannot use the drawn Powerball to match two of their white numbers, or vice versa. In each drawing, winning numbers are selected using two ball machines: one containing the white balls and the other containing the red Powerballs. Five white balls are drawn from the first machine and the red ball from the second machine. Games matching at least three white balls or the red Powerball win. Two identical machines are used for each drawing, randomly selected from four sets. The model of machine used is the Halogen, manufactured by Smartplay International of. There are eight ball sets four of each color ; one set of each color is randomly selected before a drawing. The balls are mixed by a turntable at the bottom of the machine that propels the balls around the chamber. When the machine selects a ball, the turntable slows to catch it, sends it up the shaft, and then down the rail to the display. Power Play is drawn separate from the 6 numbers. The dilemma for players is whether to maximize the chance at the jackpot or increase lower-tier winnings. If a player selects a fixed amount of money to spend on tickets at a certain time, the player will give up one guess of the winning set of numbers every two times this player activates Power Play in respect of one of the purchased tickets. Power Play, when it began in 2001, was drawn with a special wheel. In 2006 and 2007, MUSL replaced one of the 5× spaces on the Power Play wheel with a 10×. During each month-long promotion, MUSL guaranteed that there would be at least one drawing with a 10× multiplier. The promotion returned in 2008; the ball landed in the 10× space twice. After being absent in 2009, the 10× multiplier returned in May 2010 after the Power Play drawing was changed to RNG. The promotion was extended for the only time, as the 10× multiplier was not drawn until June 12. The second prize 5× guarantee continued; the 10× applied to all non-jackpot prizes, as in previous promotions. Prizes and odds Payouts as of October 7, 2015: Matches Prize Power Play 2x 1 in 1. Therefore, Power Play is not offered in California. Jackpot is split among multiple winners. § Odds of winning 0+1 prize are 1:38. All non-jackpot prizes are fixed amounts except in California ; they may be reduced and paid on a parimutuel basis, with each member paying differing amounts for the same prize tier, if the liability exceeds the funds in the prize pool for any game member. Jackpot accumulation and payment options Jackpot winners have the option of receiving their prize in cash in two installments; one from the winning jurisdiction, then the combined funds from the other members or as a graduated paid in 30 yearly installments. Each annuity payment is 5% higher than in the previous year to adjust for inflation. The advertised estimated jackpot represents the total payments that would be paid to jackpot winner s should they accept the annuity option. This estimate is based on the funds accumulated in the jackpot pool rolled over from prior drawings, expected sales for the next drawing, and market interest rates for the securities that would be used to fund the annuity. The estimated jackpot usually is 32. If the jackpot is not won in a particular drawing, the prize pool carries over to the next drawing, accumulating until there is a jackpot winner. This prize pool is the cash that is paid to a jackpot winner if they choose cash. If the winner chooses the annuity, current market rates are used to calculate the graduated payment schedule and the initial installment is paid. The remaining funds in the prize pool are invested to generate the income required to fund the remaining installments. If there are multiple jackpot winners for a drawing, the jackpot prize pool is divided equally for all such plays. MUSL and its members accept all investment risk and are contractually obligated and liable to the winner to make all scheduled payments to annuity winners. If a jackpot ticket is not claimed, the funds in the prize pool are returned to members in proportion to the amount they contributed to the prize pool. The members have different rules regulating how unclaimed funds are used. The cash in the jackpot pool is guaranteed to be the current value of the annuity. If revenue from ticket sales falls below expectations, game members must contribute additional funds to the jackpot pool to cover the shortage; the most likely scenario where this can occur is if the jackpot is won in consecutive drawings. Claiming prizes A winning ticket must be claimed in the jurisdiction in which it was purchased, regardless of residence. The minimum age to play Powerball is 18, except in Nebraska 19 ; and Arizona, Iowa, and Louisiana 21. Generally, Powerball players do not have to choose cash or annuity unless they win a jackpot then they usually have 60 days to choose. This regulation was phased out by 1999. All Powerball prizes must be claimed within a period ranging from 90 days to a year, depending on where the ticket was bought. Powerball winnings in and are subject to only. There is no state income tax in , , , and , and only on interest and dividends in and. Winnings from tickets purchased outside of one's home state may be subject to the income tax laws of both states with possible credit based on the two jurisdictions. Secondary prizes Unlike the jackpot pool, other prizes are the responsibility and liability of each participating lottery. All revenue for Powerball ticket sales not used for jackpots is retained by each member; none of this revenue is shared with other lotteries. Members are liable only for the payment of secondary prizes sold there. Since the secondary prizes are defined in fixed amounts except in California , if the liability for a given prize level exceed the funds in the prize pool for that level the amount of the prize may be reduced and the prize pool be distributed on a parimutuel basis and result in a prize lower than the fixed amounts given in the prize tables. Because the secondary prize pools are calculated independently, it is possible lower-tier prizes will differ among the game members. Main article: Because the quoted jackpot amount is an annuity of 30 graduated annual payments, its cash value relative to the annuity fluctuates. The actual ratio depends on projected interest rates and other factors. MUSL starts with the cash value, built from a percentage of sales, and then calculates the advertised jackpot amount from that value, based on the average costs of the three best securities bids. On June 5, officials announced the winner: Gloria C. It was shared by eight people who worked at a meatpacking plant. The jackpot, at the time, was the 12th largest in Powerball history. The Powerball drawing on March 30, 2005, produced 110 second-prize winners. MUSL officials initially suspected fraud or a reporting error. However, all 110 winners had played numbers from made by Wonton Food Inc. None of the employees of Wonton Food played those numbers; at the time, the closest game member was. Since the ticket holders had won as result of a coincidence rather than foul play, the payouts were made. In 2007, the released a gadget that displays the winning numbers for Powerball in real-time. The gadget also provides large jackpot announcements. The New York Lottery introduced a Powerball in 2010. Five winning numbers plus a powerball were printed across the top of the card, with 12 opportunities to match. Matching the winning numbers or the powerball won. Archived from on April 12, 2011.

If you match the red ball plus at least one white ball, you win some other prize, but not this prize. The odds of matching one red ball ALONE are harder than 1 in 35 because there is some risk that you will also match one or more white ball numbers - and then win a different prize.
