Yeah, one person bought a "quick pick" ticket in Lincoln, Nebraska.  Key word being "a".

When they say that there's only 1 winning ticket and that the ticket was bought using quick pick.. it does not literally mean that one person went up and bought just one $1 ticket and that won (not that it couldn't happen, but odds are against that). But that is how what you wrote is making that sound. Nothing is known about the winner yet.. it could have been a group of people who all went in on a whole bunch of tickets.. 50, 100, 500, etc... and one of that bunch had the winning numbers. If ya wanna get technical, I guess every ticket is bought by "one person", but that one person may be representing a group of people as well.

If I had won that much money, there is no way I would claim it right away....the media goes crazy...you have a year to claim it...I might just run up my credit cards until a few months had passed by... ;)

Heres the offical payout results:

The one time cash option is 177.3 million which is roughly 124.1 million after taxes.
The installment plan would payout over 30 years and the 1st payment would be $6,507,986 after taxes

I live in a city close to the Ohio border in Indiana......we have Powerball in Indiana and they don't have it in Ohio and our gas stations and liquor stores close to the line make tons of money off the people that come over from Ohio to buy tickets.

Weird though, if you think about it: the last four or five massive jackpots have been hit in "small" areas: couple big hits in the West Virginia area, Oregon, Nebraska...  You'd think with all the cash coming in from the big-city areas (Chicago, NY, LA), statistically someone from nearby areas should've won.  Or, at the very least, there would be multiple winners...


Actually...3 of the last 5 "biggies" hit here in Western Pennsylvania...  2 of them were purchased at gas stations that are 5 miles apart...the other one a little further away in New Castle (about 20 miles north)...

And not all states participate...NY, IL and CA being three of them according to the Powerball website...

No, but they are all near states that do.  We've got a gas station here that took in over $50K yesterday by itself.  They had shifts of locals, sheriffs & troopers stationed there all day for security.  It's right on the border between IL and WI.  Also, Indiana was marketing it heavily on Chicago radio-stations.  I can't speak for other areas across the country, but I'd find it safe to assume that the same things are happening.

According to my sources you get 4 big dollars for matching 1 and the powerball lol



Match 5 OF 5 & POWERBALL (1 of 42) JACKPOT
Match 5 OF 5   $200,000  
Match 4 OF 5 & POWERBALL (1 of 42) $10,000
Match 4 OF 5    $100
Match 3 OF 5 & POWERBALL (1 of 42) $100
Match 3 OF 5    $7
Match 2 OF 5 & POWERBALL (1 of 42) $7
Match 1 OF 5 & POWERBALL (1 of 42) $4
Match 0 OF 5 & POWERBALL (1 of 42) $3


I believe payouts are always the same unless you hit the jackpot

There's the payouts...that I posted towards the begining of the thread..........the payouts never change except for the jackpot amount and if you have the powerplay number.......which in this case is 4.....for those of you that don't know...if you won money and matched the powerplay it multiplys your winnings by the powerplay number
