It will be resume after security procedures will being finalised.

The delay is caused by one participating lottery that needs additional time to process its transactions

The California Lottery stated that "Powerball has severe security standards that must be completed by all 48 lotteries before a drawing can occur,"

The Powerball game jackpot has increased to $1.9 billion as of Monday, making it the highest lotto reward ever offered

This is exactly what the lottery's organisers planned when they adjusted the chances in 2015.
