$150 Million Powerball® Ticket Claimed!

12/16/2019

SACRAMENTO – The California Lottery player who purchased a lucky Powerball® ticket in Floriston (Nevada County) has claimed the $150 million jackpot (less federal taxes). Bill Lawrence is a retiree and happily just celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary. He and his bride had already scheduled their anniversary trip, but given their win, it’s no surprise they may extend the trip.
 
The winning ticket matched all six numbers (23-37-32-58-03 and the red Powerball number 22) from the November 2nd draw. It was purchased at Gold Ranch Lottery, which is located at 1 Gold Ranch Road in Floriston. Gold Ranch Lottery will collect a retailer bonus of $750,000 just for selling the winning ticket. (The retailer bonus is not subtracted from the winner’s prize.)
 
Lawrence and his wife frequently go to Gold Ranch. They buy their Lottery tickets and then head to lunch, specifically to have what he calls the best chicken fried steak in town! “The numbers just kept matching, I couldn’t believe it!” Lawrence said when describing how he felt when he checked his ticket. The lucky winner is planning to get a nicer house and improve the lives of his family. “Everyone is going to get a bump,” he explained.
 
         Powerball is played in 44 states (plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Draw times are Wednesdays and Saturdays at 7:59 p.m. PT. The draw closes at 7 p.m., so players must buy their tickets by then to qualify for that draw. Tickets cost $2 and can be purchased from any of the more than 23,000 California Lottery retailers or one of the more than 4,000 Lottery Lucky retailers. Please visit the California Lottery website at www.calottery.com for more information on how to play.
 
The California Lottery’s mission is to provide supplemental funding to California public schools, including kindergarten and grades 1-12, community colleges, the California State University, the University of California, and other California public educational entities. The funds the Lottery transfers to public education total approximately $1.8 billion for fiscal year 2018-19, which amounts to a modest percentage of education’s overall budget. However, this funding is largely non-discretionary, meaning schools can use this for important, yet unfunded instructional programs they would otherwise not afford. During the same period the Lottery generated almost $7 billion in sales, more than 95% of which goes back to the community in the form of prize payments, retailer commissions and bonuses, and contributions to education.  The California Lottery urges its customers to play responsibly.  Problem gambling resources are available to anyone at 1-800-GAMBLER.

There is a scam currently going around via email and txt msgs claiming that Mr. Lawrence is donating money to a randomly selected people. The message states his lawyer Juan Rossi of Rosales Esser, Rossi & Asociados LLC will be handling the donations and can be reached at Rossi.esq@counsellor.com. I thought someone should know. Thanks, Theresa.
