Powerball is the newest lottery to come to the UK, having launched on the 21st of July, 2026. Tickets are now on sale, with the UK joining the existing Powerball lottery held in the USA as the 49th state/jurisdiction to play the game.
Powerball in the UK gives players the chance to win jackpots higher than they have ever seen before and far bigger than any other lottery in the UK, or the rest of the world, can offer. Powerball set the record when a single player in California won $2 billion in November 2022, the equivalent of nearly £1.8 billion at the time. The game is played across nearly all the states in the USA, with three more jurisdictions also playing. Draws take place on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights in the USA, with the equivalent draw times being 4am Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday mornings.
