Powerball drawing for $1.9 billion jackpot delayed due to security protocol issue
https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/powerball-winning-numbers-drawn-massive-1-9-billion-jackpot-following-delay

I know many of you don't follow this stuff, but I thought this was unique.  I don't recall a major lottery have this issue before. 

Quote
Powerball officials released a statement early Tuesday morning saying one participating lottery is still processing its sales and play data and that all 48 participating lotteries are required to submit their data before the winning numbers can be drawn.

The results are still not available so far.

I wonder if the machines having problems processing their results were in Pennsylvania, specifically in the Philadelphia area.

They're saying someone in S. Cal has the winning ticket.

Rotten bum, getting my ticket! 

I'll take some comfort in knowing that after sharing a big chunk with Uncle Sam, Cousin Gavin will come around with HIS hand out, demanding a cut.

Got my 2 bucks worth of pleasant "*expletive deleted*ck everyone I don't like,  I do what I want" daydreams.  Guess I'll have to content myself with being a (halfway) solvent farmer for the foreseeable future.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.
