Powerball Lottery Jackpot Hits $42 Million



Thursday 19th June 2008

While lottery players in the UK and Europe scramble for their lottery tickets to try and bag the Euro lottery EU14 million jackpot, this has been put in the shade somewhat by news that the US Powerball lottery jackpot has hit an incredible $42 million - life changing money by anyone’s book!

Even though there has been great progress made in both the UK and Euro lottery events, they are still very much put in the shade by their US counterparts. Aside from the obvious difference in player numbers for the US lottery versus the UK and Euro lotteries it seems that the Americans tend to go for one large pot rather than an array of individual games as supported by the UK.

However, what would you do with $42 million? There are only so many homes you can buy? Only so many holidays you can go on? But the truth is that each and every lottery player would like to sample the US version and see what it is really like!

The UK did have some very large jackpots in the early days, before the introduction of project specific games, with a number of winners banking in excess of £20 million each. While those days have gone for the time being, they could return.
