According to the Multi-State Lottery Association, the official results won't be known until later Tuesday. The drawing was delayed because of issues with the lottery.
All 48 lotteries have to submit their sales and play data before the winning numbers are chosen. The lottery said in a statement that the drawing can go on once the outstanding submission is received.
The scheduled time was 10:59 pm. The association told the AP that it was against their policy to name the lottery that was delayed.
The winning numbers and video of the drawing will be uploaded to the websites. The players should keep their tickets.
The current prize is $400 million larger than the previous record. The current prize is the largest in the history of the game, but it's not close to the previous ones. Since August 3, there has been no winner of the grand prize.
The winner of an annuity would get an estimated 1.9 billion dollars. The winning numbers for Monday's drawing would be $929.1 million.
There is a good chance that another drawing will pass without anyone winning the grand prize because of the game's extremely long odds. Wednesday's drawing is expected to be more than two billion dollars.
When 40 drawings pass without a winner, some people might wonder if something is wrong, but this is how the game is designed. It is unlikely anyone will win the prize until more people play the game. The purpose of the state lotteries is to raise money for public programs. If there isn't a winner on Tuesday, it will be the 41st draw without anyone matching all six numbers.
In addition to Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the game is also played in 45 states.
