      Wow, this is crazy.  It now turns out that the cash value number communicated to me by MUSL was wrong.  The actual cash value of the jackpot is $224.7 million -- NOT $244.7 million.  It is very unlike MUSL to coomunicate wrong info, so I'm not sure what to make of it, other than a simple "brain fart".  At least the info has been corrected now.

      I have updated the news story to reflect the correct number.

        Witch hunt!

        This is why I would claim anonymously, thank the gods Ohio allows that.

          is it public information about all winners who won 2nd and 3rd prizes in PB and MM?

          So, for example, can you stay anonymous for 1 million dollars?

              i would just like to come forward and say i won the recent jackpot of power ball

               

              no seriously.

               

              i really would like to say it.

                Congrat's savage! You must be splitting this jackpot with onlymoney, you two make a great tag-team. 

                Hope you live happily ever after. Stretch

                 

                Looks like Ace Frehley on crack, and Gene Simmons on meth or bath salt and peppers.

                        Pretty sure the $244m is a typo. Powerball's site has it at $224,655,690.17.

                            Have you already won the next Powerball savage.  What?

                            Just wondering, I was on the fence about wasting another $2 this Wednesday.  Disapprove

                              dood, i dont even buy tickets. maybe if its over $500M  ill send $10 to a buddy over there and hope for the best.

                              your pot is safe from me. i m guessing next big game will be mega ball.
