Two different states, 12 years apart (or so).

Both were in groups that won.

A gal from my hometown won BIG in Powerball draw date: 12/31-03

Claimed 60 million :)

Most of what I hear is rumors about her Live in fiancee' that creates most of the fodder for news. She stays out of the lime light, yet he makes a bit of a spectacle about his sugar mamma. Personally I never quite got into their need to prove themselves once they had money. Some folks you can dress up and still NOT take out in public, This most likely applies to this lady and her man. I truly hope this... [ More ]

Guesser....don't care to know the names of the winners. However, would be very interested to hear of their experience once they won.

Were the wins sizeable in that others would want to contact them for money/investments? Were people coming out of the woodwork? How much did it change their life from a day to day standpoint, i.e. did people come up to them and ask for money, did others expect them to pay for dinner all the time, etc. How long did it take for everythnig to return to normal...

The $340 million Powerball winning family. The Chaney's and West's. Mr. Chaney passed away in 2006. Their was an article in the Oregonian that both families started charitable foundation to assist people with in their community with the winnings and that they did not spend money lavishly. The bulk of their winnings went to help others.-weshar75

Pumpi ( you inquisitive one, you...) the fact that we DO NOT know them speaks volumes about how well they have managed their fortune, not the other way around...

There are only so many Jack Whittakers and David Edwards around....That is a good thing.

Number 3 was the Chaney West families in Oregon

Number 4 had 3 winners one each from GA, Il, NJ

Number 5 was the Lucky Seven, a group of Hospital workers in Anahiem, CA

Don't know what they have done with their money. There was an article recently about the Nebraska winners as it was the one year anniversary. The two or three interviewed just pretty much stayed the same, maybe bought a house or a car. Also, I remember something last fall about the folks in Oregon, again aroun... [ More ]

No.1 was won by a factory pool.

No.2 was won by two people, one in Michigan and one in Illinois.

You can do a search if you really want to know. I still see stories about swimming pool contractor in Michigan and also about the contractor Jack Whittaker that won the PB jackpot.
