Making America Great Again: £325 million Powerball Takes Britain by Storm

LONDON, November 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Enormous surge in online sales for US lottery tickets in the UK 

At a time when some Americans are apparently contemplating moving overseas, we in the UK are increasingly captivated by the huge spectacle that is US Powerball. The biggest lottery in the world will offer a jackpot prize worth a staggering £325 million** on Saturday night and many tens of thousands of Brits going online to play Powerball online through theLotter.

Our country has developed quite a taste for American lotteries and especially so since a theLotter player from Iraq won a US jackpot and a Canadian then won the second prize in the £1.3 billion Powerball back in January. theLotter's agents had bought their tickets in the US and scanned them to their online accounts. Since then an Australian and a man from Central America have also won $1 million in the Powerball through theLotter. In the wake of all these success stories, online sales for US lottery tickets through theLotter.com increased dramatically, hitting another record during this current cycle of jackpot rollovers.
