I would say yes, but then I see the shows about complete idiots winning ridiculous lotteries and how they blow it all in under a year, lol.

2+ billion is new territory, though, so who knows. I'd believe anything at this point - did a bunch of results get trucked in at 3am, or are these machines owned by Dominion??

(Stop it, you fool! You're better than this!!!)

My neighbor won $100G on a scratcher a few years ago. That's all I got.

If I win it's not a scam.

If I lose again, the whole thing is ****ing rigged. :thumb:

The little sister of the girl I asked to junior prom won the Missouri state lotto years and years ago. That's as close as I got to knowing anyone that won it.

Ya but, a percentage vs. the whole thing...

Why do people fall for this stuff?

last night made me definitely question the integrity of the proceedings.

Did someone actually win and they were like... "woah, wait that wasnt supposed to happen to that person. we're 'delaying' putting out the timed recording that's supposed to be 'live' because of... uh yeah technical issues."

I WANT MY $2 BACK!!

Because it's okay to dream.

The Powerball winning numbers for the record $2.04 billion jackpot were drawn Tuesday morning after a 10-hour delay caused by a participating local lottery failing to submit its sales data in time for the drawing scheduled for Monday night (11/07/2022).

The winning Powerball numbers drawn are: 10, 33, 41, 47 and 56. The Powerball was 10 and the PowerPlay was 2x.

The Powerball drawing, typically broadcast live on television stations across the country and Youtube just before 11 p.m. three nights a week, failed to happen as scheduled Monday night. One of the 48 participating lotteries “had not finished processing its sales and play data,” according to Powerball officials.

Powerball officials said all participating lotteries are required to submit that information before the drawing can take place. The lottery that caused the delay was not named.

“Powerball has stringent security requirements to protect the integrity of the game and remains committed to holding a drawing that gives all players a fair chance to win,” Powerball officials said.

Did you know that for every one dollar a state makes on legalized gambling, on average they pay out 4 dollars for all of the infrastructure and support that goes into it.

They're preying on the poor and vulnerable. Gambling is a blight on society.

I have won 5k twice, 10k once and 50k once.
