@KolHaolam: NEW YORK: JUST IN - Nobody won tonight's Powerball jackpot. Wednesday's estimated Powerball drawing jumps to a staggering $1.3 billion.
Right so we are going to believe kolhaolam when the official lottery site is still pending?!

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

No. Maybe the Spanish one. Either thought he was referring to the US

€2.5B ($2.73B).
Ten seconds on Google. But yeah, this is a USA record.
ETA: that wasn't one jackpot, though. You're correct, this is a world record.

I don't need to click on that link to know that that amount isn't the grand prize. It's all thousands of prizes put together
It's also not $2

Yup. Already edited. The largest jackpot in that lottery was $941.8M according to Wikipedia, and tonight's lottery just edged that at about $949M to set the record.

The folks at Powerball just got Kol Haolam's text. It took them a few minutes to update their website. 😉

Maaser? I would think about 70-80% should go to charity.
There's a whole foundation for that

Some of the stats are amazing.

16 people won the second prize (1 or 2 million depending on if you choose the Power Play option).

18,315,365 winners in all win a total of $159,080,965.

Not sure yet.

It's gonna be a wonderful "I told you so " moment when I win now, but didn't waste money on previous drawings.
