In a statement Tuesday morning before the draw occurred, the association said, "Currently, one participating lottery is still processing its sales and play data."
"Powerball requires all 48 participating lotteries to submit their sales and play data prior to the winning numbers being selected. Once Powerball receives the outstanding submission, the drawing can proceed," the group said.

"Due to the length of the draw delay, it is likely that we will not know the official results of the Powerball drawing until Tuesday morning," the statement said.
"Players should hold onto their tickets."
Meanwhile, the official Powerball website had featured the notice: "Results Pending."
If someone won the drawing, the cash payout of the jackpot — the largest ever in lottery history — the cash payout would top $929 million before taxes.
