Technical problems delay sales and drawing of Powerball lottery gameNews Story
Mutliple technology problems yesterday caused problems with both the sales and drawing of the Powerball multi-state lottery game.Getting a Powerball ticket in Nebraska was almost impossible for a short time Wednesday.At about 5:30 p.m., a satellite malfunction shut down all Powerball ticket buying across the Cornhusker state.

However there do seem to be anomalies between the

Problems with PB drawing?
They were unable to show the Powerball drawing on TV tonight due to an error. Anyone know what happened? I bet a lot of people were upset because $180 million was up.

Curious about jackpot winnersReply
No, Mega Millions is not rigged. If it were a computerized drawing there would always be lingering suspicion, but since it's a mechanical ball drawing, the likelihood is practically nil. Besides, the drawing is held in Atlanta, and if given the choice, I'm sure the Georgia lottery personnel who operate the lottery would not want to have the winners be from outside of Georgia, since the winner's home state brings home some nice tax revenue.
