Powerball Just Made a Massive Mistake — Top Lottery Attorney Explains

Powerball just announced it's expanding to the United Kingdom — and the reaction from American lottery players has been immediate. In this deep dive, top lottery attorney Kurt Panouses and lottery expert Jonathan D. Cohen break down what this expansion actually means for your odds, your jackpots, and the future of the game. Kurt explains why this move could lead to more split prizes, smaller jackpots, and the end of winner anonymity. He's been getting calls from angry players across the country who want answers — and his verdict is clear: this could ruin the game. Jonathan D. Cohen, author of For a Dollar and a Dream, explains a growing problem called jackpot fatigue — a phenomenon where the massive jackpots that once got Americans lining up out the door just aren't cutting it anymore. A $100 million jackpot used to be the biggest thing anyone had ever seen. Now nobody even bats an eye. Cohen breaks down why lottery officials keep chasing bigger and bigger numbers, why it's not working, and what it means for the future of the lottery in America. Whether you play Powerball every week or just watch the jackpots climb, this expansion affects the entire system — and no one else on YouTube is breaking it down like this. 👍 Like the video 🔔 Subscribe to the channel 💬 Drop your take in the comments — do you think Powerball expanding to the UK is a good move or a disaster? 🎥 RELATED VIDEO — A Lottery Attorney's Warning: The Chaos After You Win ▶️    • A Lottery Attorney's Warning: The Chaos Af...   🧭 CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 1:00 Powerball expanding to the UK -- What's Happening 1:47 Why this could ruin the game 4:21 Can we trust this? 6:01 Follow the Money 11:03 Lottery expert breaks down what's really driving this 16:58 Why the lottery makes less money than it use to 💼 KURT PANOUSES — Kurt Panouses is a nationally recognized lottery attorney who has represented more than 50 $1 million+ jackpot winners, including a $1.05 billion Mega Millions winner in 2021.
