Where Does the Money Go?

Pr Loteria Powerball Results

The Puerto Rican Lottery has raised more than $5 billion for the territory’s economy since 1990. Once the prize money has been paid out, operational costs have been covered and retailers have received any commission they are due, the proceeds are given to a Lottery Fund and allocated to different social programs from there. Among the beneficiaries are the Scholarship Fund of the University of Puerto Rico, elderly people, various health and sports programs and individual municipalities.

Puerto Rico only joined Powerball in September 2014, becoming the first Spanish-speaking jurisdiction to be a part of the Multi-State Lottery Association. The territory history again less than five months later when the jackpot was won outside the mainland U.S. for the first time, on February 11 th 2015. The top prize was worth $564 million – one of the biggest jackpots ever – and the Puerto Rican winner was one of three in the draw. The lucky ticket holder decided to stay anonymous.

Puerto Rico snapped up its second Powerball jackpot just a couple of months later, when someone from the territory matched the full winning line to bank $50 million. The winner again decided not to go public.

Pr Loteria Powerball Winning

The first ever Powerball lottery draw was in April 1992, with a starting jackpot of just US $2 million. Since then, the USA's Powerball lottery game has become the most talked about lottery on the planet with millions of Americans participating in every draw. But why?

The simple answer is the size of the jackpots. Unlike any other game in the world the notorious Powerball lottery has the ability to award winners with the largest jackpots ever seen. Seemingly minor changes to the rules were introduced in October 2015 that lengthened the odds of winning the jackpot.

Lottery history was rewritten in January 2016 when the world experienced what lottery insiders now call the Powerball tsunami. The accumulation of 19 rollover draws saw the Powerball jackpot grow to an eye watering US $1.5 billion. The media went into overdrive and it's not hard to see why, when just two weeks before the billion-dollar draw, the jackpot was just US $400 million.

The US $1.5 billion jackpot was eventually split between three winners. It's now estimated that there will be a Powerball jackpot in excess of US $1 billion every 18 months.
