History and development of the Powerball lottery

In the not so distant 1988 US Interstate Lottery Association (MUSL), which at that time included only six states and Washington, organized its first lottery - Lotto America. The original lottery format is 7 from 40. This was the main difference from other American pranks, in which to win the main prize you had to guess 6 numbers from a certain number of numbers. A little later, the lottery format was changed to 6 from 54. The probability of winning the Lotto America jackpot was then minimal, compared to other games, and made up 1 To 18.000.000, although with the same format in 7 from 40 the chances were much higher - 1 To 13.000.000.

The MUSL organization began to invite other states to cooperate, and, respectively, attracted even more participants to the game. And in 1992 year, the lottery acquired its current name - Powerball! Now two reels are used for the game, due to which the jackpots grew noticeably and other prize categories were introduced. Such innovations began to bring minimal winnings even to those players, who correctly guessed at least one number. A little later, other lottery organizers adopted this system., such as: Mega Millions, Euromillions и EuroJackpot.

The rules changed several times over the following years., improved and optimized. More states have joined the organization, and it became possible to play the lottery in almost all of America. Popularity has increased exponentially, and it never stops growing!
