Global statements on global IT outages

According to the statement of the lottery organization The California Lottery, an unidentified person in the US state of California has won the grand prize in the "Powerball", which has rolled over for 36 consecutive weeks.

The ticket for the prize, which has rolled over since there has been no winner in the 36 drawings held so far and has reached a total of 1.76 billion dollars, was purchased from a convenience store called "Midway" in the state.

The winner of the jackpot will receive the entire amount in question if he agrees to make the payment for 30 years, and $ 774.1 million if he prefers a lump sum payment.

The largest lottery jackpot in US history was the $2.04 billion Powerball lottery in November 2022.

It is stated that the chance of winning in Powerball, which is played in 45 states of the USA, is one in 292.2 million.
