Weird amount of winners of $1M and $2M in the Powerball drawing on Wed

62 winners of $1M and 27 $2M winners and two people won the jackpot?? It wasn't even that high, $143M.

I remember this before a long time ago where people got fortune cookies with lottery numbers at a restaurant and they played the number and won.

Maybe a popular string of numbers for some reason .... birthdates, phone number in movie, meme numbers?

PB wouldn't reverse engineer a fix from tickets that always remain the same to juice popularity. SMH.

One thing conspicuously missing from the files, however, is the surreal fact that on July 2, 2008, two days after Epstein began serving his Florida prison sentence, a company called Zorro Trust won the Oklahoma state Powerball lottery, in the amount of $85 million. The trust opted for a one-time cash payout that amounted to $29.3 million, after taxes.

The massive 89+ second-tier winner result was attributed to a pattern of players selecting numbers in a single vertical column, say experts
