Powerball is an American lottery game sold in 44 jurisdictions as a shared jackpot game. It is coordinated by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), a non-profit organization formed by an agreement with lotteries. Powerball is a game whose advertised jackpot starts at $20 million (annuity) and can roll into the hundreds of millions over many drawings. The jackpot is paid as a 30-payment annuity; players may choose cash instead.

- Powerball er et amerikansk lotteri som arrangeres av Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), et konsortium bestående av lottokommisjoner i 28 delstater, Washington DC og De amerikanske jomfruøyene. Powerball-trekninger foregår hver onsdag og lørdag i MUSLs hovedkontor i Iowa. For å delta betaler spilleren 1 dollar og velger fem tall fra 1 til 55 og ett tall fra 1 til 42 (Powerball-tallet). Spilleren vinner etter følgende tabell: Gjennomsnittlig odds for å vinne en premie er 1 til 36,61. Jackpot-vinnere kan velge å motta en årlig utbetaling eller en engangsutbetaling. Minimum jackpot er 15 millioner dollar fordelt på 30 utbetalinger over 29 år. Engangsutbetalingen er typisk rundt halvparten av verdien ved årlige utbetalinger. Vinnere betaler ikke inntektsskatt på premier fra Powerball i Delaware, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania og Tennessee. South Dakota har ikke delstatlig inntektsskatt. 28. august 2005 ble lotteriet modifisert for å gi større jackpot og raskere vekst i jackpotoppsamling. Oddsene for å vinne jackpoten økte til 1:146,1 millioner. Trekningen 19. oktober 2005 var den største i Powerballs historie, med en verdi på rundt 340 millioner dollar.
- Powerball is an American lottery game sold in 44 jurisdictions as a shared jackpot game. It is coordinated by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), a non-profit organization formed by an agreement with lotteries. Powerball is a game whose advertised jackpot starts at $20 million (annuity) and can roll into the hundreds of millions over many drawings. The jackpot is paid as a 30-payment annuity; players may choose cash instead. Powerball drawings are held Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. Eastern time. The game currently uses a 5/59 (white balls) + 1/39 (Powerballs) matrix to select its winning numbers. Each selection of six numbers costs players $1 for the base game; for an extra $1, they can multiply a non-jackpot prize by up to 5 (10 during promotional periods) with the Power Play multiplier. The official cutoff time for ticket sales is one hour before drawings; some jurisdictions cut sales earlier. The drawings usually are held at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Occasionally, drawings are held "on location", often to promote the game's expansion to a new jurisdiction. The results of drawings are not official until they are audited by the accounting firm LWBJ, LLP. Powerball holds the record for the largest prize awarded for one set of numbers drawn in a US lottery game; on February 18, 2006, one ticket won the $365 million jackpot. The eight people sharing the ticket chose the cash option, splitting $177,270,519.67 before withholdings.
