“Powerball has stringent security requirements to protect the integrity of the game and remains committed to holding a drawing that gives all players a fair chance to win,” the Multi-State Lottery Association said.
The Powerball jackpot has reached $1.9 billion and is the largest lotto prize ever offered.
Powerball draws take place every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET.
“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.”
