One ticket wins massive $232M Powerball lottery jackpotReply
The Florida web site must be wrong. It says that 1 player won in Florida and 1 player won in South Dakota. Just went back and checked it again and it says in big red letters 1 Florida winner. It even shows someone got all 5 balls and the PB when I checked the breakdown of winners. Well, your site is always more reliable. So I guess only 1 person hit it last night.

It has something to do with federal reporting requirements. Althought they don't withhold federal taxes until it gets to $5000 or more, I believe they report all wins $600 and greater to the IRS.Bottom line is that you cannot claim a $600 prize at a store. If you feel that statement is incorrect, please point me to the government Web site (or other off
