Idaho pulling out of Powerball because Britain and Australia are joining

Boise, Idaho — Fearing foreign participation in the Powerball lottery, Idaho lawmakers killed legislation on Wednesday that would have allowed the game with huge jackpots to continue in the state after a run of more than 30 years.
The move came after Idaho Lottery officials sought a change in state law because Powerball is expanding to include Australia in 2021 and Britain in 2022. But current Idaho law only allows lotteries in the state to be played by people in the U.S. and Canada. Idaho was one of the first states to join Powerball in the 1990s. The lottery has since grown to include 45 states, two U.S. territories and Washington, D.C. The Multi-State Lottery Association runs the game.
