AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Since the
Powerball lottery introduced an extra weekly
drawing, players from Texas are buying more tickets. Besides the
Wednesday and Saturday drawings, the multistate lottery started
offering an extra draw day on Mondays recently. As a result, the
jackpot has been rising steadily. More draws have meant more income
for Texas' schools and veterans,
and they have resulted in jackpots being even higher than before.
For Saturday night, the Powerball offers a staggering $523 million.
Peggy Daniel, theLotter's U.S.
Managing Director: "Powerball and Mega Millions have been in the
news for years, but since Powerball offers its extra draw, we are
inundated with purchase requests from Texas in particular. Demand is huge right
now."
theLotter was once a pioneer in online lottery ticket sales –
the company has been around for two decades – and Daniels believes
theLotter's ongoing success to be a direct result of the trust its
customers have. She continues: "The trust in our products is
largely due to the many past winners we've had – all of whom
successfully claimed their prize money and collected their
winnings. We always abide by the strictest standards of all local
guidelines, and that's why we recently decided to offer Texans the
ability to purchase lottery tickets online using their debit card.
Since we've added debit cards, sales for Mega Millions,
Powerball and the Texas Lotteries have risen rapidly,
which we're delighted to see. This provides local charities with
additional income."
Texans are notoriously difficult to persuade, have they
developed trust in theLotter? "Well yes, we buy official Texas
Lottery tickets on our customers' behalf and scan it into
their online account as proof of purchase, so it is very clear what
we do. I believe it is because we focus so heavily on security and
convenience, that customers are returning to the site time after
time."
