Powerball drawing delay caused by Minnesota sales processing verification system


The Minnesota Lottery has confirmed the delay for the record-setting Powerball jackpot drawing was caused by Minnesota’s system.

According to the Minnesota Lottery, the state’s sales verification system caused a processing delay Monday.

Minnesota Lottery says the delay necessary “to confirm the Powerball drawing could be conducted securely and accurately,” and that the integrity of the process was never compromised.

As previously reported, the drawing for a $2.04 billion jackpot was instead held just before 8 a.m. Tuesday. The jackpot was reported as an estimated $1.9 billion on Monday, but the prize was increased to $2.04 billion Tuesday morning after updated calculations.
