Golden State wait.
A California lottery fanatic claimed he hasn’t seen a dime of his Powerball jackpot winnings worth $44 million in the over two months since he matched all six numbers.
Jerry, an everyday lotto player who “plays all the games,” tried his luck at the Aug. 19 drawing.
Armed with his lucky number 10, Jerry, whose last name remained unknown, purchased a ticket at a Ralphs grocery store in southern Orange County and became the sole winner of the $44.3 million top prize.

He should charge interest.
They gave it all to illegal immigrants.
How long before he’s labeled a greedy racist?
… why, California NEEDS that money for all the ‘Migrants’!!!
Oh, sorry we used for the high speed choo choo.
Coincidentally, administrative fees and taxes come to $45 million, so really he owes them a million.
Mongo, why would Gavin Newsom care about where the choo-choo goes?
Don’t know, Mongo only pawn in Game of Life.
This will not spur ticket buying.
😂😂😂
I wouldn’t waste my time going to get a measly $44.3 million either….
[[Jerry, whose last name remained unknown]]
Well no wonder he hasn’t received it- you know how many Jerry’s there are in California? Gotta have a last name. Lol
He would likely get interest, to boot.
Sorry, that money is for illegals.
Tell me this guy couldnt get a signature loan at prime for a couple months. He gripes just like the dozen Eeyores sleepers who have been awoken from their every-4-years slumber and just as dumb.
He’s old, so they are waiting for him to kick the bucket...............
Last name is Rigged
Sorry Jerry, money donated to Harris vodka fund.
Get the state governments out of it.
License the lotteries themselves as regulated private entities. Include in the license the “fees” the lottery now pays to the state as a portion of its proceeds.
But leave the payouts as 100% administered by the licensed lottery entity, with the state having nothing to do with that.
If the winner oues the state some money, it is up to the state to make that claim in a mailing to the winner after the state gets a copy of the 1099 issued by the lottery for their prize payment, but meanwhile the winner has been paid.
Comrade Kammy says everyone should end up in the same place. That’s how communism works. No lottery winnings for you!
Who would loan him the money? What security does he have? He could be a con artist with a counterfeit ticket. How could a bank or other financial institution authenticate the ticket? This is truly unconscionable on the part of the California Lottery, if legitimate. The lottery pays out about 50 cents on the dollar. They should be rolling in money, and the winners purse should be the first claim on assets, set aside from other funds.
Naturally, he does not want his name publicized, or else his family will be in danger of kidnapping and threats. At least until he has a chance to hide somewhere safe.
