The winning numbers which were drawn last Monday night were 12, 22, 54, 66 and 69. The Powerball was 15. The $699.8m was the 7th largest in US lottery history to be won. No one had won the game’s grand prize since the 5th  June. According to the California Lottery, the winning ticket was sold at a store in Morro Bay, which is along the central coast. The lucky winner will be able to choose between the annual option paid over 29 years or the ultimate cash option of $496m. Both prize options will be subject to taxes.

Lottery officials will not know the identity of the jackpot holder of the winning amount until a claim form is filed, the California Lottery said,.

There were also 5 $1m tickets sold; 2 in Massachusetts and 1 each in Virginia, Florida and Arizona.

The 41st drawing set a record, topping the previous mark of 36 drawings that ended in January 2021. The longer the game goes without a grand prize winner, the larger the payout grows and grows.

The jackpot dry spell was by design, as the game’s long odds of an impressive 292.2m to 1 are intended to generate massive prizes that draw more players for the ultimate jackpot.

Lottery officials have noted that despite the long wait for a winning jackpot ticket, plenty of people have won smaller prizes, including 2.8M players in Saturday’s drawing alone. Those winnings ranged from $1m to $4m.

Powerball is played in 45 states plus Washington DC, the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

Have you seen? Excitingly Mega Millions and PowerBall jackpots both over $400M, there are likely a lot of players daydreaming about how they’d spend such a awesome winning amount.

The life changing figure would put the winner on a wealth level with some of the richest celebrities on the planet, but he admits to only buying a “new truck and a house”. Despite the winner having a living sister he admits in the letter to not liking her or her husband, and has concerns that she would make him give half the money to her church if she knew about the win; he not only didn’t tell his sister but not even his parents, or friends.  The 67 year old said “I know that my parents would not have asked for a thing, but I couldn’t risk my sister finding out and forcing me to donate half to her church. I have not donated money to anyone or any organisation”.

The winner hasn’t been able to fully enjoy the winning amount and claims to have had to keep a low profile – Buying only a new truck and a house, but told anyone that asked that he was renting the house.

“I am now 67 and very comfortable with my life. I don’t spend a lot. I have no children, and both parents have now passed on. I have not provided for my sister because I do not like her or her husband, and I have not spoken to her in over 10 years.

“She hopefully has no clue where I live; besides, my parents took her out of the estate before they died. She tried to do some horrible things to our parents, which I managed to put a stop to. Was I wrong in not telling anyone about my winnings?”

In a reply full of much wisdom financial agony uncle Quentin advised the winner that he should not feel bad he has not told anyone. Uncle Quentin did raise the point that he is surprised the man has remained anonymous in a state where the names of lottery winners are part of the public record.

He concluded by adding: “Enjoy your good fortune, and your privacy, as long as it lasts. Once the latter is gone, no amount of money will get it back.”The agony uncle suggested he will decide who he will leave the money to when he dies.

Last Thursday marked the last day to redeem the winning ticket, which was sold at a convenience store in a suburb of LA, and no-one came forward to claim the prize. The winning ticket was purchased on Nov. 14, 2020, with last Thursday being the last day the ticket could be redeemed for the prize.

Her claim is being investigated by California Lottery officials, with the store’s manager providing CCTV video showed the women who purchased the ticket, she is also known to staff at the store as a regular customer. California Lottery officials have the footage, but have said that its not enough proof to claim the amazing winning money – Officials need a picture of the front and back of the ticket in order to allow a person to win without the physical ticket. Rules state that someone who believes they are a winner, must complete a claim form.

Spokeswoman from the lottery Cathy Johnston has said if someone has lost their ticket, they must also provide evidence they owned it in the first place, such as a photograph of the front and back of it. The $26m prize can be taken in annual instalments or as a $19.7m (£14m) cash option.

If the prize is not claimed, the $19.7m will go to public schools in and around California. The store that sold the ticket would have received a $130k (£92,000) bonus.

It is uncommon for large jackpots to go unclaimed, officials said. 4 prizes of $20m (£14.2m) or more have gone unclaimed since 1997, including a $63m (£45m) jackpot from 2015.

A lucky mum purchased the Lotto ticket on Thursday in Maroubra in Sydney’s east, but very nearly didn’t make the trip out because of the terrible rain battering in New South Wales. She also didn’t register her name when she purchased the lucky ticket, meaning there was no way for officials to phone to inform them of her big win – It also means the new millionaire may not even know they’ve won, this then lead to a days long search and campaign to find her.

‘At the last minute, I had to go out so I thought I would try my luck.’ She said she forgot about her purchase until she heard someone had won $50million, so she checked her numbers and told her shocked husband the incredible news. ‘This is far too exciting; we are still trying to get our heads around it. It’s so hard to comprehend that we are now multimillionaires,’ she said. The woman said she and her husband were planning on buying a new house, provide for family members and then go on ‘lots of shopping sprees’.

The winning numbers were 18, 30, 16, 29, 6, 33 and 35, with the Powerball number 4

Bryan Moss, from Meridian, Idaho, won a quarter of a million dollars on the Idaho Lottery Scratch Game $250,000 Crossword on Thursday, 28th January 2021 – his sixth big prize lottery win but his first time winning the big jackpot, according to the Idaho Lottery.

“I’m proud to help support Idaho public schools, that’s really why I play,” said Moss who owns the Newko Sport and Nutrition health store in Meridian. “I’ve tried playing for others,” Ross said in a thread on his Facebook page announcing the big win. “It doesn’t work.”

His winning ticket was purchased at the ExtraMile on Eagle Road and Goldstone in Meridian and for their part in selling the winning ticket, ExtraMile will receive a bonus payment of $20,000 from the Idaho Lottery. As for what he will do with the money, Moss already knows.

“He plans to put his winnings aside for his daughter’s future education,” according to the statement from the Idaho Lottery confirming Moss’ sixth win. Since it began in 1989, the Idaho Lottery says it has “sold over $4.2 billion in products, awarded more than $2.6 billion in prizes to players, returned $249 million in retail commissions, and distributed $961.5 million in Lottery dividends to Idaho public schools and buildings.”

That means the Powerball drawing on Saturday, 16th January 2021 will be worth a whopping $640 million with a cash option of $478.7 million. Those tickets were sold in California, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, New York, Texas and Virginia. Two of those winners were sold in California, three in Michigan and two others in Texas. Only the player in Virginia also played the Power Play option which increased their winnings to an increased $2 million!

Prior to the draw, the jackpot increased from $550 million to $556 million and now again for Saturdays draw to $640 million. The US Powerball is offered in 44 States, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Players select five white numbers from (1 to 69) and one red ball (1 to 26). Teamed with the other US lotto Mega Millions drawing is tonight Friday, 15th  January with an estimated jackpot of $750 million.

The last Michigan player to win a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot was Cristy Davis of Waterford who won $70 million playing Powerball in February. And whilst she was a lucky winner of such a big jackpot, it’s smart for players to check their tickets immediately as a winner worth $1 million sold in Hartland in 2019 went unclaimed and as the winner never came forward to claim the prize – The money instead went to the state’s School Aid Fund.
