Even with the final jackpot tally being increased to $425.3 million, this jackpot will remain the 6th-largest US lottery jackpot of all time. I'm estimating the cash value at $242.2 million, which would also make it the 6th-largest cash value ever. But that's just my estimate -- we'll have to see what the actual figure is later on.

The Chevron gas station in California is going to get a $1 million bonus for selling the winning ticket. Looks like the gas station owner won the lottery too.

There's at least one winner. Definitely one in California, not sure about other states yet.

The California winning ticket was sold at Dixon Landing Chevron in Milpitas.

Starting at $500 at least, but since they bumped this one by $25.3mm, maybe around $525mm

No lines where Yours Truly purchased his powerball ticket, today. Think the rainy weather kept many indoors.

Remember to get your ticket before the cutoff time!!!

OOPS!!! Missed it already!!!

(It's probably for the best since there is still a nice patch of ice out by the garage that I dont want to break my neck on.

In my state only one person can. I don't know if they do that so that they don't have to deal with group claims. Good luck Jace2014 and welcome to LP
