Wrong.

That ticket was worth $1 million.  Two winners.

$500,000 each.  If they take a lump sum payout, that goes down to $350,000.  After taxes they get about $210,000 each.

Fun money, but not life changing.

Lot of conspiracies around power ball and megamilions, like the government is controlling the numbers to grow the jackpots for increased tax revenue.

That there are no winners, that they are highly paid actors who collect a percentage the rest is funneled into black ops, the CIA or the deepstate to pay for things the government can't have traced back to it.

Some even believe their is a racist component, that winners must be being chosen before hand because more Whites win the jackpots than any other race, or at least that is the perception.

Only the jackpot is split between winners.  Anyone who hits everything but the power/mega ball wins 1M.  And someone did hit the jackpot.

Probably a single mom with 2-3 baby daddies and she'll use the money to keep them out of jail and buy them thangs.

Seems to usually be the case with lottery winners. That or somebody who was already fairly well off.

Explain the screen grab.  It shows zero winners of the $1 billion prize, and two winners of the $1 million prize.  Clear as day.

@eracer The Mega Millions released a statement that someone won the $1 billion prize. If no one won the prize than it wouldn't reset 20 million or so.

Also your screen grab is wrong, no idea where you got it from. Here is one from the Mega Millions website.

I got it from the Florida Lottery website.

Now you've got me wondering if I ever threw away a winning ticket because their winning numbers were posted wrong...

I won $2

What should I spend it on?

The lottery is, and always has been, a tax on the stupid and desperate.

As long as you play responsibly, it can be fun to dream a bit. I don't really view it as any different than having a few beers or going to get some ice cream occasionally.
