http://www.cnbc.com/2016/01/10/no-winner-for-the-900m-powerball-jackpot-wednesdays-draw-worth-13b.html
No ticket holder had the winning numbers for the record $900 million U.S. Powerball jackpot drawn on Saturday night, which means Wednesday's draw will balloon to $1.3 billion.
The @TexasLottery Twitter account revealed that there was no Powerball winner - the Texas lottery head is also head of the Powerball Group lottery - and that Wednesday's jackpot would be world-record breaking.
The estimated jackpot on Wednesday will be $1.3 billion, according to the official Powerball site, which would be worth $806 million if a single winner chose to take the windfall as a cash lump sum rather than over time as annuity payments.
Saturday night's winning numbers were: 32, 16, 19, 57 and 34. The Powerball number was 13, with a multiplier of 3.

Powerball jackpots start at $40 million and grow until the big prize is won. The current jackpot has been on since Nov. 7, after 18 drawings without a big winner. The odds of matching all the numbers is 1 in 292.2 million.
The previous U.S. record jackpot was $656 million in a Mega Millions drawing in March 2012. The largest Powerball prize was a $590.5 million jackpot won by a Florida woman in May 2013. Powerball tickets are sold in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. ? Islands.

With a billion I'll kick
2 million to my moms
2 million to my sister
1 million to my pops
1 million to my cousin (more like my brother)
1 million to my cousin (more like my brother)
1 million to my friend (more like my brother)
And 2 million split amongst my cousins. (Lot of them)
I love all my family and I'm real close with them.
I would spend 10 million on my family if I had 1 billion
When I didn't have much I could always count on any of my family being there for me because at 1 one I needed them and they were there. All of them.

He act like he's being generous, with close to a billion my immediate family is at least getting 100 million -
My "drop off the face of the earth" game gonna be strong as ? if I win some ? like that lol
-
I would get immediate friends and family out of debt
-
I just bought my tickets.. You never know carajo
-
honest I don't even think I could handle knowing I'm bout to get that much freakin money at one time I would probably have to do shrooms and go half insane for a couple nights just to find my sanity and cope with it

Let me find out I hit the number. I got a strategy all lined up:
First off, I wouldn't even claim it till two months later, so all the hype of it can die down when I get it on the LOW.
Second, ski mask and shades when I hold up that check...that's to keep my family safe.
Third, I'm only goin by my first initial and last name when I claim it. Search all you want for T. Smith....or is it E. Brown....or is it D. Bonner....or R. Roundtree. You'd never know.
But with that kind of money, I'd ? the system up. Go back to my hometown....open up some youth centers. Give to a few HBCUs - starting with my alma mater
Start franchising a few restaurants in NYC. I'd LOVE to bring Waffle House here.
Of course, my fam would be good. I'd set up a bank account to which both sides of my family could pull from it, with approval from my mom (or her side) and my dad (on his side). That would be for stuff like college funds, home buy/repairs. All approvals would have to be signed off by me as well. I ain't paying for no bail money or dope habits.
Then my fiancé and I would just go see the world for a while. -

You must of done your research I didn't even know you could do all that, how long do you have till you have to claim it? -

I don't have a Facebook or a Twitter -
Most states have a legal limit of a year to claim any lottery winnings. That's where most people ? up. They're so hype to get the check, they don't stop and think about everyone that knows them and knows they just won a fuckload.its....JOHN B wrote: »You must of done your research I didn't even know you could do all that, how long do you have till you have to claim it?

There's absolutely no Wing Stops in Nassau or Suffolk country. I'd open up about 4, spread out in each county. A waffle house would go great near all them bars by Metropolitan. There also needs to be about 2 more Chic-fil-a's between the one in Manhattan and the one in Long Island.
And I would definitely love to open up some type of Community Center in Brownsville w/ about a dozen basketball full courts, olympic sized heated pool, learning center to help the kids with homework/adults learn various trades/and teach computer literacy to anyone who's interested in taking such a course.
And provide computers and new text books for a handful of the lowest ranked schools in the city.
Then theres the obvious stuff like taking care of the family, myself, etc. But I'm not for no extravagant ? . Of course I'd be living lavishly compared to my modest living currently but everyone's going to have to understand that it won't become lifestyles of the rich & famous. Nothings wrong w/ treating yourself as long as it's done sensibly. -

There is so many different franchises that can be put on Long Island -
? I'd replace the Waffle House w/ a Roscoe's if I could but I'm not sure if the owners would ever allow that.

I'm not tripping if I don't win because my income taxes is going to be more
