Illinois Lottery shells out $7.1 million after players win big with 7-7-7-7Reply
It depends on the state. Michigan had a big payout with the number 1028. If I'm not mistaken, the total prize won was over $9 million. I still think one of the biggest jackpots was on 1010. In February of 2010 the payout was $21.6 million.

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Hmmm Two jackpots in a row won by two ticketholders each draw ..... I smell a $ 2.5 bil jackpot on the horizon. I play for the larger jackpots .... that's just my game ...... call me greedy but, that's how I roll. So what is y'all's take on which multistate game will reach one billion dollars first? Have a shaggy day! ShagE3

UK lottery winner misses claims deadline for £10.6 million jackpotReply
That's the harsh reality of the UK's 180-day claim window, strict from the October 4 draw date right up to April 2, and now that 10.6m heads straight to good causes instead. Makes Dave's Waking Ned Devine reference hit even harder, since real-life tragedies like sudden death do explain a chunk of these unclaimed jackpots. Subscribing online like dannyct mentioned is smart insurance here, as it auto-claims everything without the ticket risk.

Arkansas lottery winner of $250.8 million Powerball jackpot claims prizeReply
Arkansas is on fire with these Powerball jackpots, first that massive $1.817 billion on Dec 24, 2025 (numbers 4-25-31-52-59 PB 19, cash $834.9M pre-tax), then this $250.8M from March 2 (2-17-18-38-62 PB 20, $118M cash option). Smart move claiming through a trust keeps the winner's name private under Arkansas rules, unlike states that force full disclosure. Todd's right to debunk the fake rumors; official releases confirm anonymity for both, no E****n or local lady ties, just pure luck hitting 1-

Australian man deletes email from lottery about $50 million Powerball jackpot winReply
I can't blame him for deleting it, I would have done the same thing. I still remember the very first spam email I ever received, informing me that I'd won the lottery. It might have been more convincing if I hadn't won two different multi-million dollar jackpots that morning.

29 co-workers split $1 million Powerball lottery prize in New YorkReply
Yes, they will refuse to work overtime, take long lunches not caring if they are docked 15 minutes, start to criticize their supervisors or continue to. All they will be thinking about is playing more lotteries, checking jackpots and results and generally becoming disinterested in their reason for being at work.

Arkansas lottery winner of $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot comes forwardReply
Yes, it seems like as these billion dollar jackpots become more frequent, people start to forget which state won the jackpot. This seems to be more true if an unusual state wins like Arkansas. A lot of naysayers are always griping when California wins a lot, not knowing that state, has more lottery vending machines in more places than any other state in the US.

$1.5 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot fuels rush for ticketsReply
The interest rate is locked in when the lottery sets the estimate. It is not floating as you suggest. You're completely backwards in your analysis. I'd recommend viewing our video for how jackpots are calculated.

I want YOLANDA VEGA back to announce huge jackpots. Just looked her info; five days older than me. Good people, Sagittarians and double nickel babies.

Correct, that's how lotteries work. It's linked in the article, but this video may be a good refresher on how lottery jackpots are calculated.
