In Wednesday’s drawing, a lot more than 3 million tickets won prizes ranging from $four to $2 million, lottery officials stated.
Most people today would agree the threat of any of these events actually taking place to them is pretty slim.
The biggest jackpot ever was in January 2016 when Powerball hit $1.586 billion and was shared by winners in California, Florida, and Tennessee.
State law dictates that if you are a winner, your name, city of residence, jackpot quantity and date the prize was won must be shared with any third party that asks for the facts.
