I think yall are forgetting. This person will not be a billionaire as they are getting less than half. The government is a billionaire. And then everyone talking about that's alot for one person ….yall forget there are Rich people who are worth multi billions of dollars out here?? They not doing nothing humble with their money but a lottery winner is supposed to?? Come on
THEY ARE TRYING TO "condition" the population to accept THE DRAWING DELAYS so they can rig the game in future DRAWINGS!!! THEY WERE FORCED TO RIG THE GAME THIS TIME… due to the fact that small states like Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, etc… can't AFFORD TO PAY THE WINNER 2 BILLION DOLLARS out of their state budget for the year… so only big states like NY AND CALIFORNIA were the only options for the winner to be found!
The man purchased the place with his wife worked hard 7 days a week and look what happened for him
I wonder why the One ticket came from here One man and his One family’s business One together
Rigged lottos
Rigged elections ✅✅..
That Powerball draw was on the first night and first morning One of the One Blood Moon for a reason
What you people don’t understand any One can be the winner of that money until it is proven
California doesn't deserve it
People say that Powerball lottery was rigged by who all power is of One GOD not any of us
Its always California that always wins. The already richest state in the US getting more richer.
freakin scam. CA delayed it, and when we all woke up the day after, someone from CA won.
That One ticket came from that One machine of GOD who created all things by Jesus Christ I Am
The One ticket that came from that One machine could be anywhere until One man I Am sees where
WW III: Buy war bonds now…
Isn't that amazing how California gets to have all that tax money???
Rigged
Probably Nancy’s relative
Our economy is being broken deliberately. Our leaders have been making very reckless decisions for a long time, and now we all get to suffer the consequences. Given the pace at which things are spinning out of control, within a few short months we may find ourselves in the middle of a deep recession, a stock market meltdown, and a housing crash that'll be unlike anything we've ever seen. what moves can we make to generate more income because I can’t afford to see my savings of about $320k turn to dust
That money could help so many in need
Feed so many hungry
Help those who are sick and diseased
An illegal alien won the jackpot and they'll be deported if they try to claim it. Back to the cartels they'll go.
I sincerely have a good question and praises to the lucky winner but how come the numbers are winning in ran down states people are leaving like Chicago for example didn’t hit big till the bears wanted to leave and now CA Hollywood is getting exposed and nobody really cares about the over payed snobs that live there
Wow, congratulations to the winner !! BE WISE IN SPENDING 1 and have fun 🙂
🙏🙏
Completely fraud!!! Racist society
if they have any sense, they'll move out of state before they collect it – cali doesn't deserve any tax money from anybody
Anyone thinking winning that much money is a good thing, (especially from the lottery) hasn't thought it through yet…99.9% of people are better off not playing. It's the dirtiest catch 22 you've never dreamed of
The anonymity to winners rule does not strengthen the not rigged claim.
You think they gonna give away 2B to just anyone..terrorist,white supreme,conservative,j6,infowarrior,parents,swm. Then you already lost.
probably gaggin newscum fixed it to win for himself after giving out all of our money back to us for votes.
Even if the drawing was legit being delayed by 10 hours, just realize if it was done on time Monday it would have been an entirely different set of "random" winning numbers. Lucky for the winner in California, but unlucky for almost everyone else. Stupid Minnesota caused the delay and changed the outcome of the results.
There is information that the recorded drawing is against lottery protocol and the drawing should be illegitimate. News at 10
I am not sure if I am glad I didn’t buy or if I regret of not buying one with the glitch.
I love you Mega Girl 🤑 I can only be happy with $1billion dollars 🙏
