Dreamers and positive thinkers, this one is for you!

MARTINSVILLE, N.J. — Today, Lottery Post published a new installment of the Weekly Roundup series featuring some of the latest lottery stories.

Lottery players that believe in positive affirmations and good karma may want to take note from a few of these winners.

Years after tragedy struck an Iowa couple, a woman found herself gazing at a winning Powerball ticket worth $2 million, giving her the means to tie up loose ends from long ago.

A lot of good happened to an Ontario man in just one week — imagine rounding off a huge milestone with a $35 million surprise!

Then there's a North Carolina woman, who just knew she was going to get her windfall after going through difficult times to do with her health and family and "spoke" her $200,000 lottery win "into existence."

Our Weekly Roundup series on YouTube breaks down all the latest stories, game changes, and most important moments so you can stay up-to-date and in-the-know about everything happening in the lottery world.

Join the conversation and share your thoughts with us in the comments section on YouTube. We love hearing what you think!

Ehhh, hold on a bit, Now that the PB just jumped over the $600M mark, I gotta believe its in the top 25..... Looks like it's in the top 17..... Cash value didn't get in the top 25... BUT

Thats okay, I won't mind taking the $310M.

I heard a reporter on the radio mention the pb amount the other day. I thought that is not even top ten. Not news. Lol lol  We are so spoiled by the higher jackpots.

I hope you are right.

It just rolled to $650million for Monday's draw.

It's now the 8th highest it has ever been.

Gotta go get my ticket!

Yeah lottery post doesn't talk about jackpot unless it is 1 billion or more nowadays.

=0p The powerball is now 650 million. Not bad at all.

Unless you're in the extremely small minority that would take the annuity it's the 15 biggest PB jackpot.

In the spirit of positive affirmation willing uncertain events into existence, I positively affirm the following plays for today's Powerball

[37 36 38 2 31] 13
[30 46 34 22 41] 5
[21 11 20 68 19] 25

and tomorrow's Mega Millions

[3 39 19 15 16] 24

It's actually the ninth-largest Powerball jackpot ever (see top 25 list here: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/345962).

This seems to disagree:

  • 21. Mega Millions: $347.6 million cash, Dec. 17, 2013 ($648 million annuity) - California, Georgia
  • 22. Powerball: $341.7 million cash, Jul. 30, 2016 ($487 million annuity) - New Hampshire
  • 23. Powerball: $340.9 million cash, Jul. 10, 2023 ($675 million annuity) - Preliminary estimate, not won yet

Despite the bump, it's still smaller than 14 other PB  jackpots, although I suspect the final tally will move it up one notch.

Positive affirmation partially worked for me on today's Powerball.   1+1 hit.
