THE US Powerball lottery jackpot is a rollover for the 21st time in a row, with the jackpot standing at over half a billion ($650 million / £507 million).

If won, the colossal amount would rank as the third biggest US lottery jackpot win in history, with the record currently standing at a whopping $1.6 billion.

According to online lottery site Jackpot.com, three Scottish towns are within the top 10 in the UK for betting on the draw.

Dunfermline ranks third with 18% of all tickets, with Ayr and Paisley 7th and 8th on 17%.

With the option to purchase more than one ticket per game, British players of the US Powerball are buying an average of 2.1 tickets for each draw.

The last Powerball jackpot win was back in June, where one lucky person claimed a $448 million prize after 19 rollovers. The win before that took just two rollovers before the main prize was claimed, which suggests that a win is well overdue this week.

Pablo Grunbaum, COO of Jackpot.com said: “The Powerball is known for its huge jackpot amounts and the continued rollovers in recent weeks means the current prize is an astonishing £507 million.

“This amount is 39 times higher than the average jackpot amount for the UK Lotto, so there is a real opportunity for Brits to try a new lottery and see if they can win big.”
