Powerball is played in 45 states across the US, plus Washington D.C, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. The top prizes it offers are some of the largest worldwide as they can reach even up to over $2 billion. Draws take place three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings at 10:59 PM EST.
In Ohio, ticket sales for the Powerball lottery game began on April 16, 2010 and the state participated in its first drawing on the following day. The first jackpot was won less than two months later, on June 2, and it has been followed by more over the years.
Ohio Powerball participants have a few benefits that only a few other states get. Jackpot winners have the right to remain anonymous in case they wish to protect their identity. Moreover, winnings are only taxed at 4%. The Ohio Lottery aims to use the revenue generated from ticket sales to support K-12 public education, and Powerball plays an important part in that as it’s one of the most played lotteries.
