$975 MILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againReply
Like they say, you have to be in it to win it On that note, I got my one PB with PP and my one MM with the multiplier. Who said that 36M is not a significant amount. The around 10M after taxes is a lot of money - let's not pretend that our lives can only be changed by 100M I would still buy a ticket if the jackpots reset at 10M. Good luck to all.

Michigan woman finds out through Facebook that she won $1 million Powerball lottery prizeReply

Editorial: Study of lottery winners still receiving food stamps is flawed but raises good pointsReply
I really find it hard to believe someone who wins $2 Million Dollars still needs Food Stamps no matter the Taxes and any possible out standing debt the State can collect on your behalf. I thought that you had to summit Tax Records for 2 years plus 4 months of employment statements at least I did when I became disabled from a double stroke and still got turned down even thought I had not worked in 3 months and waiting on a check from Insurance just based on the documents I summited not where
