Of the 102 powerball winners, only one has ever taken the annuity.

Read somewhere that there was a 77% chance someone hit the jackpot.

I'm figuring multiple winners. Alas, no millions for me.

Reports starting to come in: Nobody won in the states of California, Arizona or Iowa, no word from the other 47 states yet.

With a smaller amount = bigger chance of winning so gigantic amounts are pointless IMO.
In Norwegian lotto they can have a , lets say 30-40 mill prize , Id be happy with "only" 4 mill (approx 500k US)
Even a million krones is a pretty good prize. I dont like it when someone wins large prize twice in a short row , let others have a chance too :/

Looks like on Wednesday America will have its first billion dollar lottery. It starts at 1.3 billion and likely goes up a couple hundred million more by mid-week.
In other words, if you take the 29 year annuity, after taxes you are a paper billionaire.
YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN VINCE McMAHON!!!!

Until the site updates to say that, I won't believe it. One news feed already prematurely said it and people thought it was legit.

That's it for me. Even if nobody wins, I'm not buying anymore tickets.

ABC News breaking that while there are $1 Million Dollar winners in some states, NOBODY won the jackpot, which means that for the first time in lottery history, we are looking at a before tax jackpot of over $1 Billion Dollars.
May one of us defy all logic, reasoning, and probability by telling 1 in 292 Million odds to go f*** itself.

I'm strangely hyped about this, even though I know there's a better chance of a literal Sharknado happening in my state before I get even one number right on a ticket.
