    California winner will have to share $1.5-billion Powerball jackpot
    The chances of winning the record-setting $1.5-billion Powerball jackpot were a ridiculous 1 in 292 million.

    But on Wednesday, at least three tickets proved golden. California had one of them, sold at a 7-Eleven in a strip mall in Chino Hills.

    In a sign of the frenzy caused by the massive jackpot, scores of people swarmed the store's parking lot Wednesday night, cheering, taking photos and trying to take in the historic moment.

    “I'm really happy,” said an employee of the store at 4092 Chino Hills Parkway, which will receive the maximum bonus of $1 million. “It's very good news.”

    I had five tickets and didn't even match 1 number.... Meaning, the numbers that were drawn, none of those numbers were on any of my tickets, anywhere.

    How the fuck.... Did I play the right lottery?

    Because either nobody or very few people have ever actually taken home that much money. Winning millions and then going broke is not at all uncommon, though. It's not unlike pro sports in that regard.

    People do it all the time with something like 1-10 million. This is 310 million dollars, it's not like you buy a house, a bunch of cars and a bar and then waste the rest

    They won't get 350 million. It will be like 220 million. And hell one winner was dumb enough to post his face and ticket on Instagram.
