We break down the event and weigh the possibilities
By Kate Northrop
MARTINSVILLE, N.J. — Last week, a video of a woman who claimed she won the $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot surfaced and went viral among lottery players and non-lottery players alike.
Today, Lottery Post published a recap of the video in which we revisit the do-s and don't-s of claiming a huge jackpot.
Those who watched the video online and witnesses of the event seem torn about whether the unidentified woman is the real winner, with some, including the store owner of the retailer who sold the winning ticket, claiming she is faking it all for attention.
For our latest video, we decided to sit down and analyze the scene so we could share our own thoughts on the debate.
Of course, the truth will come out once the California Lottery officially announces the winner. After all, it took over three months for the public to learn that Edwin Castro was the winner of the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot drawn in November 2022. For now, we can only speculate.
See our perspective by watching our latest video on our official YouTube channel, and join the conversation in the comments section to share YOUR thoughts. We love hearing what you think!
WATCH: Is this the winner of the $1 BILLION Powerball lottery jackpot?
Anything is possible. Or she could be a drama queen
She may be for real or not , or maybe she had to run home to share it on TicToc to make some money.
I don't think it's real.
Probably just wants attention.
It's fake people are just looking for attention
paid actors
I wish they would be in tiktok that is absolutely the worst ever and people making fools of themselves
Absolutely awesome, sike, not the winner.
How about mental illness is real or people really desire to be rich such as myself but will never do this. But anyway Pray for her and her family that if it's not her she get the help she needs and not be ridiculed for needed professional help.
Perhaps she is part of a pool of people that won ? Patience isn't always a virtue with some folks.
Very possible. When jackpots get that high, pools are common.
From watching the video I don't believe there is any way to absolutely determine if she's the winner or not. There is only ONE way the public will know, and I didn't see anyone representing The California Lottery in the video.
Time holds the answer as to whether or not she's a nutjob. G5
Anyone read latest decision on Jason Kurland?
Haven't paid attention since the conviction announcement
Will wait for the lottery to say who the winner is.
One thing is for certain - I did not win it.
