How To Bet On The US Powerball

Select 6 Balls With Jackpot Betting Companies

Overview

Jackpot betting created huge excitement in the Lotto world with the revolutionary opportunity to win international lottery jackpots from around the globe including the massive US Powerball.

Historically if someone based in the UK wanted to win the US Powerball jackpot, the only way would be to:

• Travel to the USA
• Or trust and pay for a ticket buying company who buys and holds a ticket on your behalf

For a significantly lower price than ticket buying companies, customers can now engage with worldwide lotteries and win jackpots – wherever they live. This includes the eye watering US Powerball jackpot.

Rather than buying tickets directly with the lotteries, a fixed odds bet is simply made on your chosen numbers. However unlike traditional bookmakers where you can only bet on up to 5 numbers, you can win the full jackpots. The smaller payouts come from bet revenues and jackpots are underwritten by massive international insurance networks.
