The Powerball lottery is one of the two major multi-state lotteries in America, the other being the Mega Millions. Power Ball is operated by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), which is a consortium of lottery commissions in 29 US states, the District of Columbia along with the U.S. Virgin Islands. MUSL is licensed as the monopoly provider of multi state lotteries in these states.
Powerball’s predecessor started operating in 1988 under the name Lotto America. In 1992 the game was changed and re-launched with the new name, Power Ball; this name has remained to the present day.
