Powerball Drawing Delayed Over Ticket Verification Issue; No Timeline for $1.3B Jackpot Draw
- Saturday's $1.30 billion Powerball drawing was delayed due to one jurisdiction not completing required "pre-draw procedures" to verify all tickets sold
- Lottery officials instructed players to hold on to their Powerball tickets for the delayed drawing
- The verification procedures are enacted to ensure the integrity, security, and equal chance of winning for all Powerball players
- There is currently no estimate for when the winning Powerball numbers will be drawn after the jurisdiction completes the ticket verification process
- This is a developing story, with no timetable on when the long-awaited drawing will ultimately take place after the delay
