A Powerball ticket that could pay $171.4 million was sold in Pennsylvania.
The winner, who matched the five numbers plus the powerball, has 60 days from the date of claiming the prize to decide whether to take the $171.4 million annuity paid over 29 years or a lump sum of $93,428,155.06.
The winning numbers were: 13-17-35-45-50. Powerball, 2. Power Play, 2.
Thanks for asking, but no it's not me!

Serves you right!
A Catholic Christian gambling!
Oh yeah, that's right, since the demise of indulgences the Catholic church has had to rely on Bingo night to take money from people. And yet you take a stand on casinos and slots?!
First, I never took a stand against "casinos and slots" Marty has but you have never heard me speak against it. That;s because I'm not against it. I see gambling or playing the lottery as a personal choice and not a moral right or wrong. Many put money into a 401K and hope the stock market goes up. Then they cry NO GAMBLING. It's the same thing! We need personal responsibility in all things. Don't bet the house payment on anything but if want to entertain yourslef with a lotto ticket or a few buck in a slots machine, I wish you the best of luck.
My inlaws are big time into the lottery. They are elderly and have little money, but spending a buck or two each day in the hopes of hitting it big is at the forefront of their lives. It's extremely sad how much their lives revolve around money, and they both profess to be Christians/Catholics. They really have no clue what the Bible says concerning this issue.

Sin in Genesis is defined as separation and or rejection of God's love. All these silly little things religion loves to call sin is just a symptom of sin. If gambling is that individual's way of showing he's separated there may be a problem. If another individual throws a dollar out there to receive a blessing from his sovern God then where is the problem since God has justified him, cleansed him, and made him righteous in God's eyes because of the living Christ that indwells him. - Sean

Now this is funny (to me, anyway)...discussing gambling and you wish me "luck." Intentional or not, I got a chuckle from it.
