“Monday evening’s Powerball drawing was delayed for nearly 10 hours until Tuesday morning because a participating lottery had issues processing sales.
The association said it was against its policy to say which lottery had the delay.”
Well isn’t THAT convenient........glad I kept my money in my pocket this time.

Exactly what I thought. They’ll end up with close to nothing.
Wonder if the winners name is David Depape. He could buy a lot of hammers with that.

I don’t play the lottery because I might win!
Money changes things and if you win big everything in your live changes. I am quite comfortable with my life as it is today and I would not want the hassle winning a lottery would bring.

Except California doesn’t tax lottery winnings, which is about the only thing they don’t tax.🙄

Someone who has amazing dirt on the powers that be and who is impossible to eliminate either because he has great security or killing him would be creating a martyr.
Better to give him 2Bil to keep his mouth shut.

We got the Power Ball number right! We won $4.00! We'll try really, REALLY hard to not let it change our 'lifestyle' but now I can afford THREE things from The Dollar Twenty-Five Store with 25-cents to spare!
Yay! Let's Go, Brandon!

Lottery winnings in California are only subject to Federal taxes and they are exempt from state and local taxes.
