Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) - The American Powerball lottery's jackpot prize of US$137 million (equivalent to ₱6.8 billion) is currently the highest lottery prize in the world. In January this year, lottery fans across the globe held their breath when it seemed the Powerball jackpot was on track to break its all-time record of US$1.586 million, set back in January 2016. In the end, the jackpot was won at US$730 million, by a single ticket purchased in Maryland.
To participate in the upcoming Powerball draw on Wednesday, July 14, play the game by purchasing official Powerball tickets online at theLotter.com. There is no need for you to travel to the United States to stand a chance of winning the US$137 million Powerball jackpot.
Yes, there are winners from the Philippines!
"While there has yet to be a jackpot winner from the Philippines, Filipinos have won amazing prizes playing online at theLotter," theLotter's spokesman Adrian Cooremans said.
B.J.L., an engineer from Manila who requested anonymity, loves playing local lottery games.
