JERSEY CITY, N.J., Nov. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Powerball mania has gripped the country, with Lotto.com emerging as the most convenient digital option for those looking to get into the historic action. The Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $1.9 billion after no winning tickets were sold in Saturday night’s drawing.

Even though nobody hit the record jackpot, a Colorado player became Lotto.com’s first million dollar winner on Saturday night. The player registered on November 3 and promptly won on their first ticket.
