You would trust a site called lottery buddy more than Lottery Post?? I'm not sure where buddy gets their info, but here at Lottery Post it comes from MUSL.

According to http://www.lotterybuddy.com/powerball/ is was $12.3 million.Does anyone know of an official website that publishes the cash value after the draw. The official Powerball site publishes the estimated cash value before the draw. The annuity and cash value are usually adjusted after the draw when the final sales figuues are known.Thanks,Jake

I have been out of touch recently because of some personal matters, and have not been able to maintain some of my data files. In particular I missed the announced cash value for the powerball drawn yesterday. Can someone inform me what the cash value was for yesterday's 5/19/04 drawing?Thanks in advance.
