The jackpot for the Saturday, May 18 drawing was $600 million.
Somewhere in Florida, a lucky Powerball winner is holding a piece of paper worth approximately $600 million. Prior to the May 18 drawing, lottery officials had predicted there would be a winner given 80 percent of the possible number combinations were in play. They were right. Not only did one ticket match the winning numbers of 10-13-14-22-52-11, but over 7.5 million players won non-jackpot prizes totalling $83.9 million. In Georgia, two players won a $1 million prize by matching five numbers and 17 players matched four numbers plus the Powerball to win $10,000. The jackpot-winning ticket, however, was sold at a Publix in Zephyrhills, Fla. according to Fox News. The next Powerball drawing will be held Wednesday, May 22 at 11 p.m. The …

Americans are a funny bunch of folks when it comes to attitude about the rich.
Another record Powerball lottery event has come and gone. There were two winners in distant states from Georgia. At the height of the frenzy of lottery ticket selling more than 100,000 tickets were being sold per hour. Those people who track these types of events announced that the odds were very high that anyone could win. I saw a number of 1 in 175,000,000 chances to win the jackpot. Knowing the odds were great against ever winning the grand prize did not keep people from flocking to the lottery outlets to take the chance they would walk away a millionaire. I found it interesting that the week when President Obama was planning and speaking at rallies, pushing for tax increases on the wealthy, that so many people were lining up to …

A father of three who is no stranger to winning the lottery has struck it rich again. Hugh Hamley of Hoschton won $1 million in the Super Millions Second Chance drawing. In 2010, Hamley won $10,000 by participating in the Maximum Green Monthly Extra Chance Drawing. “I got a call from a friend in Tennessee who saw my name on the news,” Hamley said in a released statement. “I checked on the computer, and I was antsy trying to figure out what to do.” With the million-dollar prize, Hamley is ready to start thinking about his retirement. “I’ve been thinking about the type of lifestyle I want to have when I retire,” he shared. “But I’m going to stick to my plan and continue working.” For more information on the Georgia Lottery Corp., visit www.…

Last week, lottery officials approved an online system for selling tickets for the Powerball, Mega Millions and Fantasy 5 Georgia lottery games, GPB News reports. The new system, which is expected to go into effect in the fall, would require that ticket purchasers be at least 18 years of age and reside in Georgia. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the new system is expected to increase Georgia Lottery revenue by millions and open the lottery to more players. “I think that is a useful area to explore,” Gov. Nathan Deal told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “It does open the participation up to a generation of younger citizens of our state who might not take the time to go to a store to physically purchase a ticket.” Proceeds …
