US Powerball
What makes the second largest American lottery so special? Its strength? It's dynamism? Its prizes? The answer is all of them. When US Powerball changed the rules of the game back in January 2012, this game got even better than it used to be: its initial jackpot was doubled, the guess range got smaller, and the Power Play became a fixed multiplier able to double the Powerball's 2nd prize to $2 million. After a crazy year 2013, when Powerball has been making the headlines with regular 9 digit prizes on display and a record-breaking $590.5 million jackpot prize in May, this American's lottery's officials promise some more changes in January 2014.
