The 1.8 BILLION Dollar Powerball jackpot was won on Saturday night.

Two lucky tickets matched all 5 numbers and the Powerball to win one of the largest jackpots in lottery history in the United States.

I had this bright idea to use ChatGPT to come up with my winning numbers. I figured, why not use AI to get me rich? Everybody else is. It did spit me out 3 sets of winning numbers with a disclaimer that there's no way to accurately pick the winning numbers.

Just like clockwork, nobody from North Dakota won the grand prize Powerball jackpot.

In fact, we are one of only 4 states to have never had a grand prize jackpot winner with the Powerball. The others would be Maine, Mississippi, and Wyoming.

Even South Dakota has had 3 jackpot winners before. Minnesota has had the 3rd most winners ever with 22. Indiana is the state with the most all-time winners, with 39, this is according to World Population Review.

One of these years, North Dakota will get in on the jackpot fun. In the meantime, we do occasionally have some big winners. This includes a couple of $1,000,000.00 winners and numerous others. Including this past Saturday night. Go grab your tickets!

The winning numbers: 11,23,44,61,62, and the Powerball was 17.

North Dakota had not one, but TWO big winners from those numbers, according to the North Dakota Lottery.

Two winning tickets were sold in North Dakota, each worth $50,000.

So, even if it wasn't one of your tickets, you might want to suck up to one of your friends who bought tickets. You never know, right?
