Powerball ticket sales launch in UK, first drawing held

Powerball, a U.S. multi-state lottery, launched ticket sales in the U.K. for the first time, with the first drawing held there. No winners matched all numbers in the initial draw, and the jackpot now stands at $600 million for the annuity option or $266.4 million for the lump sum. UK players must take the annuity over 30 years if they win the jackpot.
