$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
Has a jackpot winner ever been sold in Oregon? At least one previous PB jackpot. Oregon is also the only place that sold a jackpot winning ticket through a valet service. IIRC the winner was from Iran (possibly Iraq?) but I think the prize was too small to be PB or MM. I have two bachelor's degree one statistics ...

Accidental lottery ticket purchase nets Maryland couple $2 million in PowerballReply
Not sure if your comment was directed to me and I don't know what some of your acronyms mean (WOF, IGT etc) I'm currently in Texas, a huge lotto state and it's shocking how out of shape these machines are and how unreliable they are. I've lost money by the machines double printing tickets either from me pressing the push buttons or using my app QR code.

Powerball lottery winner Edwin Castro's $25.5 million mansion nearly crushed by landslideReply
When the media, either through fires or mudslides shows these homes built precariously close to disaster it is no wonder insurance won't cover them. Had to chuckle when Marvisi said the government should cover the cost of home repair/debris removal. Fat chance, maybe your billionaire neighbor Castro could pay for it. As far as I've seen the city will clear debris only from public roads, not private property. Too bad so sad you're not entitled to one red cent Marvisi. OTOH Oregon lo

The Oregon winner came forward yesterday to claim their prize. I think the winner is a LP member who had everything in place and was just waiting for the win. Way to go.

$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
I will say this.... A 3-hour delay absolutely had an impact on who won and lost. Had the draw been on time those numbers certainly would not have been the winning set. The butterfly effect is real!! I say all this to say... it should have been me lol Jk congrats to Oregon! They went 6 years without a jackpot win!
