Tonight's $1.3-billion Powerball drawing was delayed for procedural reasons, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the security and integrity of the game.
Powerball game rules mandate the verification of each ticket against two computer systems to guarantee fairness; one jurisdiction required extra time for this process.
The winner of the $1.3-billion jackpot can opt for a lump-sum cash payment of $608.9 million.
A previous $842.4-million Powerball jackpot was claimed in Michigan on January 1st.
