Powerball jackpots and rollovers

Similar to other lottery games there is a mechanism called rollover for not claimed jackpots. The main prize grows as long as no one matches the 5/5 numbers and of course - additional number - Power Ball (PB). Pool for 1st prize division is rolled over to the next Draw's corresponding division. Powerball became famous because of the large jackpot rollovers. These are expected in more cases too, which we point below:

  1. If there are no winners in division 2-8, then the pool rolls down to the lower division, e.g. division 4 to division 5.
  2. If there are no winners in division 8 (but they always are), then the pool rolls over to division 1 of the next draw.
  3. Breakage from any PB division rolls over to the same division next draw.
