Powerball announced Monday night that the drawing "has been delayed due to a participating lottery needing extra time to complete the required security protocols."
"Powerball has strict security requirements that must be met by all 48 lotteries before a drawing can occur. When the required security protocols are complete, the drawing will be performed under the supervision of lottery security officials and independent auditors," a statement said.
There was no time frame given for the drawing.
No one has won the jackpot since Aug. 3.
A winner who chooses an annuity, paid annually over 29 years, would get the estimated $1.9 billion payout. Nearly all winners instead opt for cash, which for Monday's drawing would be $929.1 million.
The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot is 1 in 292.2 million.
I hope NOBODY WINS! I FORGOT to buy my 1 ticket! Ha Ha.
Lee: So how much SOUP did you folks have leftover and what happens to it all?
DAVE: We have a gal in one of the Serbian church communities in Chicago that tripped over a one of those GRATES that cover a steam release opening in the sidewalk. There was a rusty old bolt stick up and her shoe got caught by it and she ended up in the hospital with a fractured kneecap and broken wrist, etc. Anyways, because of your Kathi I asked her what they were doing for her knee and she said they're putting some sort of CAST on it. She said her knee doesn't hurt half as bad as her wrist and shoulder. She had a picture of the grate and it was a nasty rusty piece of metal sticking up from it. She said she never has sued anybody, but is really thinking about Sueing for all the pain she is in.
How is your Kathi doing today? (Tuesday)
Bill: The Detroit Lions really put it to that Aaron guy. He looked a tad frustrated at his teams loss on Sunday. I can't stand that guy.
Lee: I remember you saying you guys got a Pencil Christmas Tree. Well, after I was in the store and looked at all the trees they had on display I went for the SLIGHTLY (fatter) tree that was called a "SLIM". It's not much wider than the Pencil, but it does tapper a very slight bit from the top to the bottom. I liked the fact that it was FLOCKED. Decades ago, in our old house, we had a REAL TREE that was sprayed with the white flock stuff. It was a beautiful real tree. Haven't had one since then. Art liked my choice. (like it really made a difference) Ha Ha.
Nancy: Nice assortment you picked out for Bruce. I find it harder and harder to think of something new and different to buy Art at Christmas.
Negc: Good to know you and Rita are getting better from that Flu. Keep drinking lots of water. You know it's a cure all for lots of things. Seems like the hospitals around our area are full of Children with that RS flu. They have posted that NO CHILDREN ARE ALLOWED to come into any of the hospitals to visit family members to help avoid them getting any Flu germ. It's quite a serious issue for the kids getting sick.
BB: Tuesday would be a good day NOT TO TURN on your TV or RADIO. All you will hear is the "PROJECTED" WINS! That can drive somebody crazy as all the AD's. And then on WEDNESDAY we get to hear about all the RE-COUNTS. Seems like there are hundred's of law suits already in the works about Voter Fraud and the votes haven't even been counted. It's a crazy world we live in since the T-man lost his re-election. I can't stand that P.O.S.! 
Finally feel sleepy enough to go to bed. Have a good Tuesday everyone!
