I’ll never understand why there aren’t payouts limited to ONE million dollars. I don’t play lotteries AND am poor at math...
It’s a publishing error - wrong numbers published on a website he looks at doesn’t make those be the numbers that came up in the actual drawing. “Thinking” you won and actually winning are two different things.
I’m pretty sure he won’t get an amount equal to the jackpot, but he’ll probably get a pretty good chunk of change nevertheless.
I think the Powerball people could have to pay something. THEY PRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC ON THEIR WEBSITE winning data that was false. Yes, the guy ought not get the grand prize that false, PUBLISHED, data said was his. But I bet he’ll get something, if he has a good lawyer.
