Second time in 12 months they’ve had technical issues when the pay out is over a billion

It doesn’t even make sense to have to verify all tickets sold before the drawing. Just draw the numbers and check to see if any tickets sold has matched those numbers. That’s the way it’s done on all non-rigged drawings, unless of course you want to rig the drawing then this delay makes complete sense.

[untouchablex]

They're having a hard time putting in the magnets inside the winning balls.

[tomimpomeni]

They should be investigated. Most likely attempting to rig the drawing. It's not enough for them to not have a winner in 40 drawings, that they have to do this?

[jaytab]

They have to pick the winner, it's all a scam.

[milesvile]

The delay is probably because somebody won that they didn't want.

[OuterHavenMedia]

Yeah, they ran into some technical issues trying to rig it 😂

[testLuck]

But never an issue when they take our money after buying the ticket. They are corrupt here and the stock market

[billc]

They need more time to rig the numbers

[bossgold]

Those numbers need to be pulled on live tv not behind the scenes

[nextlevelcaulking]

I didn't even play I still feel scamed

[xxanderzzsz]

2nd time ive seen this happen when the payout is big how come it never happens with the other drawings?

[DigitalBenny]

Whenever the jackpot is high an a lot of people play, the computers that take an inventory of all played numbers crash while trying to pick the number nobody played. Happens to be the same computers that calculate votes 🙄🙄🙄

[Shell-]

Every time this happens it looks shady asf. How is anything delayed you guys cut off selling at a certain point there should never be a delay js. 🙄

[poggamus]

Yo I can't believe I'm spending money on it just to be scammed.

[glennblackledge]

That's doesn't seem too shady.
🤔

[johnhmielewski]

Someone from another state other than New England probably won and you know they can't have that. Let's draw a new set of number's and say we're having tech difficulties too easy lol

[bobbobby-iqzu]

Kinda odd how this happened last time it was over 1 billion

[mrlucky]

Drawing delay means the jackpot has gotten too large and they have been ordered to rig it for the prechosen winner. The delay is needed to figure out between all the states which combination hasn't been covered so that they can use the rigged machine with the time & date adjusted back to print it out for the preselected winner.

UH OH POSTPONED AGAIN can't wait for california to randomly have the only winner. family member of the powerball employees need to have the winning ticket so the workers can cash in
