The winning numbers for this week’s Powerball lottery jackpot are: 17, 22, 30, 46, 56, PB 16
The official Powerball lottery website is reporting on one of the summer's luck big money jackpot winners, writing:
“The Florida Lottery announces that Orencia Barzey, 37, of Lauderhill, claimed the $80 million jackpot prize for the POWERBALL drawing held on Saturday, June 20, 2015. Barzey chose to receive the winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $49,566,294.92.
"’I was very shocked when I checked the Lottery's website and the numbers on my ticket matched what was on the screen,’ said Barzey. ‘I don't plan on changing much about my lifestyle, but I do plan on helping my family with my winnings.’
“The jackpot-winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased from Best Value Food Store, located at 1040 Northwest 47th Avenue in Plantation. The retailer will receive $40,000 for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.”
Check your tickets closely to see if you won. Even if you didn’t win the big money prize you may have won one of the many smaller scale prizes, as the website details:
“The second prize (won by matching five white balls in any order) is $1,000,000 paid in cash and any time you match the red Powerball, you win. The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are approximately 1 in 32.”
What would you do if you won this week’s game? Would you take the annuity option or the lump sum?
Until you win, keep hoping and stop working. -- Brick Dozer.
