Buy Tickets Online for Wednesday's US$ 400 Million US Powerball  

The incredible US Powerball that has inspired similar lottery games in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa is offering a $400 million jackpot in this Wednesday's draw. The massive mid-week prize is the eleventh 9-figure jackpot for the popular American lottery since US Powerball officials announced changes in January 2012 - including an increased $40 million starting jackpot - that were designed to create bigger prizes, more often.

Australians looking to play the US Powerball can avoid plane fares and passport controls thanks to online lottery ticket website http://www.theLotter.com, which has 10 years' dedicated experience and a global fan base that has won more than US$ 26 million in lotto prizes.

The current top prize of US$ 400 million came after Saturday's US Powerball draw saw a twelfth consecutive rollover provide a US$ 100 million boost that has given the American lottery the chance:

• to pass its US$ 590.5 million personal best set in May 2013,
• to overtake Mega Millions' US$ 656 million world record, and
• to hit the US$ 1 billion mark, the holy grail of global lotteries!

In 2012, a theLotter player from the UK won US$ 1 million in the US Powerball on only his fifth online lottery ticket purchase, and this year has seen a Latvian player win approximately US$ 1 million in just six months while Playing It Global on theLotter.com.

To play for the US$ 400 million US Powerball, you must select five numbers from 1-59 and your choice of Powerball from a guess range of 1-35. This differs slightly from Australian rules which require six numbers from 1-40 and a Powerball number from 1-20.
