$291-M Powerball jackpot up for grabs Wednesday
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Winning a multi-million dollar jackpot is the dream of lottery fans across the globe. The US Powerball is on the rise, once again, offering players an amazing $291 million jackpot prize, or about ₱14.6 billion - currently the biggest jackpot prize in the world. The next Powerball draw is tomorrow, Wednesday, Dec. 8, and it's totally possible for the next big lottery prize winner to be a Filipino!
Do you think huge jackpots are never won? Well, think again!
After a record 40 consecutive draws without a winner, the recent American Powerball lottery jackpot worth $699.8 million was won last month!
A single ticket sold in California matched all six numbers drawn, fulfilling the dreams of one lucky winner.
Furthermore, only 2 weeks prior to this, a lucky ticket holder in New York won the big Mega Millions jackpot of $431 million!
Play Powerball from the Philippines with a single line for less than $5
You can play Powerball from the Philippines by purchasing your Powerball tickets online at theLotter.com — the world's leading online lottery ticket purchasing service. theLotter offers Filipinos the opportunity to play Powerball with a single line for less than $5 dollars.
"Many Filipino players have won American lottery prizes by playing online," says Adrian Cooremans, spokesman for theLotter. "Just recently, in the draw on 10 March 2021, a Manila engineer B.J.L. (he prefers to retain his anonymity) purchased US Powerball tickets online at theLotter and ended up winning a third division $50,000 Powerball prize!"
Here's how you could win a $291 million jackpot from the Philippines:

When you win
