COLUMBIA, SC (November 8, 2022) – The Powerball® drawing for Monday, November 7 has been delayed. Powerball® is working to resolve the issue and provided the following statement:
“The Powerball drawing scheduled for Monday, Nov. 7 remains delayed due to one participating lottery needing additional time to process its sales and play data. Powerball has been in communication with the lottery throughout the night as it works to resolve the issue. The delay is unfortunate as the other 47 lotteries were able to complete the required security procedures in a timely fashion.
Like the rest of America, Powerball is eager to hold its drawing for the world record jackpot, however, protecting the integrity of the draw is of upmost importance, even if that means a further delay. Players should hold onto to their tickets. As soon as the required security procedures are completed by the one outstanding lottery, the drawing can proceed.
Thank you to our players for their patience. We look forward to drawing the winning numbers as soon as possible.”
The South Carolina Education Lottery completed the necessary protocols on time. We thank our Powerball® players for their patience. Updates will be posted on our website at sceducationlottery.com, shared on our social media channels and provided to the media.
