			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When playing the Powerball, I guess there&#8217;s nothing like a little home-field advantage.</p>
<p>A cashier at the Heartland Pit Stop in Doniphan, Missouri is a Powerball winner after she <a href="http://kplr11.com/2013/05/22/missouri-cashier-sells-self-1m-powerball-ticket/">sold herself a winning ticket</a> Saturday morning. As you probably know, the Saturday drawing <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/powerball-jackpot-winning-ticket-is-out-there-somewhere-2013-05">made someone $600 million richer</a> &#8211; but they&#8217;ve yet to come forward to claim their prize.</p>
<p>Mary-Jane Hart didn&#8217;t win the big prize, but she matched every number except for the Powerball. That makes her the winner of a cool $1 million (before taxes, of course). </p>
<p>According to Hart, she used the numbers of NASCAR drivers to fill in her ticket. Apparently, she&#8217;s a pretty big fan.</p>
<p>“I’ve always wanted to win a jackpot so that I could go to way more Nascar races than I go to, which is a lot.” said Hart.</p>
<p>She won&#8217;t be spending it all on NASCAR races, however. She says she plans to take a trip to Hawaii, as well as help her son out with the winnings. She also plans to keep her job at the convenience store.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/tag/powerball">Powerball</a> Jackpot <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/powerball-jackpot-now-at-550-million-2013-05">hit nearly $600 million</a> this weekend, a jackpot winner has finally been found.  An unidentified winner from Florida matched numbers in Saturday&#8217;s draw.</p>
<p>According to the Florida <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/tag/lottery">Lottery</a>, a jackpot-winning Powerball ticket was sold in Publix grocery store in Zephyrhills, Florida, a city Northeast of Tampa.  The ticket was a &#8220;Quick Pick&#8221; and is worth $590.5 million.  The ticket matched all five winning numbers (10, 13, 14, 22, 52) and the &#8220;Powerball,&#8221; which was 11.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is Florida&#8217;s sixth Powerball jackpot winner, adding to our record of the most Powerball winners of any state since the game was introduced in Florida in January 2009,&#8221; said Cynthia O&#8217;Connell, Florida Lottery Secretary.  &#8220;It is also a big win for public education.  This series of POWERBALL jackpot rollovers generated more than $40 million for the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund.&#8221;</p>
<p>The winner, who has not yet come forward, will now have 180 days from Saturday to claim the prize money.  To claim the prize money as a lump sum, the winner must file a claim within 60 days.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, remember the other day when I asked you what you would do if you <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/powerball-jackpot-estimated-at-360-million-2013-05" target="_blank">won the $360 million jackpot</a>? Well, apparently you guys didn&#8217;t wish hard enough because no one won, meaning all that money spent on (losing) tickets goes into the jackpot pile, giving us <a href="http://www.powerball.com/pb_home.asp" target="_blank">a new total of $550 million</a> (with a $350 million cash option). With that, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll3uipTO-4A" target="_blank">the famous O&#8217;Jays chorus comes to mind</a>: </p>
<p>&#8220;Money, money, money, money. Money!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>The jackpot is getting so much attention that, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/powerball-winner-jackpot-swells-550m/story?id=19190709#.UZVdvrXvswA" target="_blank">according to ABC News</a>, folks in foreign countries tried to get in on the fun:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>When pots reach record levels, say lottery officials, phone calls start coming in from all around the world to Powerball&#8217;s Iowa headquarters. &#8220;We start getting inquiries from Canada and Europe from people wanting to know if they can buy a ticket,&#8221; Neubauer told ABC News. &#8220;They ask if they can FedEx us the money.&#8221;</p>
<p>The answer is: &#8220;Sorry, no. You have to buy a ticket in a member state from a licensed retail location.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>That means, for our Canadian friends, if you live near one of the border states&#8211; anyone will do, <a href="http://www.powerball.com/powerball/pb_map.asp" target="_blank">as they are all Powerball participants</a>&#8211;you can drop down and hit up anyone of the convenient stores you arrive at. As for our European friends who want a shot at all that glory, well, the next drawing isn&#8217;t until Saturday, which means you have time to buy a plane ticket and try your luck. </p>
<p>Just be sure to bring cash, because you can&#8217;t buy these tickets with credit/debit cards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Get those lucky numbers ready, folks, because anyone who can buy a lottery ticket in the United States has a shot at the recently-updated Powerball jackpot, and it&#8217;s a big one. <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/officials-estimate-powerball-jackpot-360m-200237427.html">According to reports</a>, lottery officials estimate the new total to be around the $360 million. The cash option for the third largest Powerball jackpot is almost $230 million, which would result in a pretty nice payday for the winner(s), regardless of the taxation commitments. As you&#8217;re probably aware, the odds of winning the lottery are incredibly long, something that&#8217;s perfectly illustrated <a href="http://thumbnails.visually.netdna-cdn.com/probability-of-winning-the-lotto-and-other-unlikely-things_50291a691f2d7.png" target="_blank">by an infographic</a> posted <a href="http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2012-11/dismal-odds-winning-lottery-infographic" target="_blank">over at PopSci.com</a>.</p>
<p>To put it simply, you have a <em>much</em> better chance of getting dealt a true Royal Flush than you do winning the lottery (1 in 649,740 versus 1 in 135-175 million). That being said, if you want a shot at the big money, you have to throw your hat into the ring. Furthermore, a 1 in 200 million chance is better than having a zero percent shot at the jackpot.</p>
<p>The next drawing is scheduled for Wednesday, May 21st, meaning you have some time to run out and get your Powerball tickets. If you don&#8217;t win, don&#8217;t fret. Be happy knowing you contributed to the next Powerball jackpot and go on about your  day. Of course, if you win, all bets are off. You&#8217;ll probably singing the following song a great deal:</p>
<p><center><iframe width="616" height="462" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jl1mQASHc48" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br />
But what else would you do? Donate it all? Spend it frivolously? Disappear from society to live on some huge estate in a foreign country? Or would you try to live the same kind of life you have now?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With no jackpot winners in the month of April, the <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/tag/powerball">Powerball</a> Jackpot has now risen to an incredible $222 million.  There were no jackpot winners for Saturday&#8217;s (May 4) drawing, and also no &#8216;Match 5&#8242; winners, who would have won a $2 million payout.  Though no big payouts came this weekend, over one million people across the U.S. won a combined $11.2 million in prizes.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/tag/mega-millions">Mega Millions</a> jackpot has also been growing, and now sits at $154 million.  There were also no Mega Millions jackpot winners for Tuesday&#8217;s drawing.</p>
<p>Though the odds of any one person winning are, obviously, low, stories constantly pop up to remind players that the odds of <em>someone</em> eventually winning are certain.  Just this week, a California woman who accidentally purchased an extra SuperLotto Plus ticket <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/lotto-mistake-14m-won-on-accidental-ticket-purchase-2013-05">won $14 million for her mistake</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Powerball jackpot is currently at $70 million, as nobody won the jackpot prize on Wednesday. The estimated cash value is $45.4 million. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As previously <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/338-million-powerball-ticket-winner-to-be-announced-2013-03">reported</a>, someone in New Jersey won the Powebrall jackpot in Saturday night&#8217;s drawing. The pot was $338 million. The winner shouldn&#8217;t be the only one getting paid, however. </p>
<p>It turns out that winner Pedro Quezada owes $29,000 in back child support. As reported by both <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/03/28/175569263/pwerball-winner-owes-thousands-in-child-support-payments?ft=1&#038;f=1003">NPR</a> and <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/powerball-jackpot-winner-owes-29-000-child-support-163424715.html">Reuters</a>, New Jersey law enforcement officials have said as much. Hopefully he&#8217;ll set aside some of the remaining cash for any future payments he&#8217;s accountable for. </p>
<p>According to Reuters, Quezada opted for the lump sum payment for his winnings, which will get him $211 million. That should still take care of it. The report also quotes a statement from the sheriff, saying Quezada is subject to potential arrest until the warrant is satisfied. </p>
<p>The Powerball website has <a href="http://www.powerball.com/powerball/pb_stories.asp">a page</a> that shares winners&#8217; stories. I wonder if the child support part will make it in Quezada&#8217;s story. So far, the story is not on the site, and is listed as &#8220;pending&#8221;. </p>
<p>Quezada&#8217;s winning numbers were: 17, 29, 31, 52, 53, Powerball: 31. In addition to the jackpot winner, Saturday’s drawing saw a Match 5 Power Play winner ($2 million) in Iowa, and $1 million Match 5 winners in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. There were a total of 2,486,305 winners on Saturday, and $30,662,765 in non-jackpot prizes won.</p>
<p>The current Powerball jackpot is at $50 million with the next drawing scheduled for Saturday. </p>
