Lottery Powerball Jackpot The Powerball jackpot has reached $950 million, and the digital rush for tickets has caused online lottery platforms to struggle under record demand.
Several popular lottery apps reported temporary outages Wednesday night, while websites saw wait times as high as 20 minutes for users trying to purchase tickets.
“Every time the jackpot goes above half a billion, our systems get stretched,” admitted a spokesperson for one digital lottery platform. “But this is unprecedented.”
The surge reflects how technology is transforming gambling habits, with younger players preferring to buy tickets online rather than at physical outlets. Analysts predict that if jackpots continue to rise, online lottery platforms could soon rival traditional retailers in sales volume.
