$2 Million Powerball Winner in Iowa Comes Forward

The California ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven; the Florida ticket at a Publix grocery store.

The holder of that ticket will share a $1.586 billion jackpot with winners in Florida and Tennessee, lottery officials announced late Wednesday. Three jackpot winning tickets, that matched all six numbers, were sold in California, Tennessee and Florida. The Observer reports Reddit users are claiming he Photoshopped the picture as a publicity stunt, but USA Today confirms Bragg is indeed from Chino Hills, where a winning ticket was sold.

“I am very happy and excited”, said Faroqui, who has worked at the store for about 10 years. “Now I have money”. One of her co-workers chimed in and told her that she may want to look at her ticket because there was a $1 million ticket sold at the Wawa on Urbana Pike in Frederick. “The last three days were really insane”.

“It’s official! There were three jackpot-winning tickets in tonight’s Powerball draw: California, Florida & Tennessee”, the California Lottery tweeted.

The jackpot winners overcame odds of one in 292 million. At the aggregate level, individual investors prefer stocks with lottery features, and like lottery demand, the demand for lottery-type stocks increases during economic downturns.

“One of the best parts about this was calling my mom”, Ricardo, 36, said in the release.

The announcement of the winners came after the previous 19 drawings produced no jackpot winners.

California’s Chino Hills residents crowd into the local convenience store minutes after the announcement the winning Powerball ticket was purchased there.

The Tennessee couple live near the store where the winning ticket was bought.

“Welcome to Chino Hills”, said Lopez.

Atwal received a Dollars 1 million cheque as retailer bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The woman was told she was a victor in a text message from her son.

But as the world waits for the winners to be identified, hoaxers have cropped up claiming they won the prize.

A Pomona nurse who won the record-breaking Powerball jackpot was given a ticket by her boss, according to a spokesperson for nursing home owner Shlomo Rechnitz.

The next drawing is Saturday at 7:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time and the jackpot will reset to $40 million.
