Members KLN Posted October 27, 2005 Members Share Posted October 27, 2005 http://www.mylottocorner.com/lottery_answers.php On July 29, 1998 the "Lucky 13", a group of 13 machine shop workers from Ohio, won the largest jackpot ever. The winners elected to receive a lump sum payment of $161,496,959 in lieu of an annuity that would have paid out $295 million over a 25 year period. The winning Powerball ticket was purchased in Richmond, Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members darraholic Posted October 27, 2005 Members Share Posted October 27, 2005 I'm hoping it's my Dad. It's my only hope now. Watch it will be my evil neighbour. The 40 million is just an estimate. The sales from the draw help raise the jackpot hence the 12 million. Like the next draw is 4 million the winner would probably get more due to the high sales of this draw.

Members KBT Posted October 28, 2005 Members Share Posted October 28, 2005 Didnt the US just have the biggest jackpot ever reaching 290 million about a week ago, did anyone ever win it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members darraholic Posted October 28, 2005 Members Share Posted October 28, 2005 Some guy from Oregan I believe. The lotto winner was a group of 17 from Camrose, Alberta. It's all over the news here in Edmonton. They are really lucky people. 3.1 Million for each of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mitchapalooza Posted October 29, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 29, 2005 Of course after taxes, that number drops to 136 Million (still not that that isn't a [!@#$%^&*] wad of money, but still gov't gets most of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
