10-33-41-47-56 and the Powerball was 10,

Officials have finally announced the winning numbers for the record $2.04 billion Powerball lottery jackpot after Monday night’s drawing was delayed when one of the 48 participating lotteries needed more time to complete the necessary protocols.

The winning numbers, which were announced Tuesday morning, are 10-33-41-47-56 and the Powerball was 10, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.

The jackpot was already a record $1.9 billion but grew to $2.04 billion by the time of the drawing, the association said, “making it the world’s largest lottery prize” – just as its organizers intended when they changed the odds in 2015.

The announcement Tuesday came after officials delayed the drawing Monday night, when one participating lottery needed more time to process its sales and play data, the Multi-State Lottery Association said in a statement, echoing an earlier statement by the California Lottery, which said one lottery needed additional time to complete the necessary security protocols.

Ugh! most of my numbers were off by 1. That seems to happen A LOT.

Oh well...time for another ticket!

Forgot to buy one this time... I'll have to wait until it tops a billion again...

Supposedly there's 1 matching ticket, although last I heard, they hadn't announced where that ticket was bought.

A winning ticket for the record $2.04 billion Powerball lottery jackpot was sold in Altadena, California, lottery officials said Tuesday, making the lucky ticket holder the winner of the largest lottery prize ever.

The ticket was sold at a Joe’s Service Center, the California Lottery said on Twitter. Results posted to Powerball.com similarly said there was one winner who matched all six numbers in California – the odds of which were 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.

That's chocolate-covered macadamia nuts.

I'll play when the payout reaches some real money.

And then I'll buy five tickets for every set of numbers played.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

now all we need is the next winning ticket to stock the pantry....
