Over the weekend a $2 million Powerball ticket was sold at the Canaan Superette. The winner matched five numbers and turned the $1 million prize into $2 by playing the Power Play option.

Everyone who plays the lottery has their own fantasy of what they'd do first if they won. Two brothers from Wichita, Kan. celebrated their big lottery win by buying meth and weed, which resulted in them accidentally blowing-up their house and getting arrested...

Goodwill towards man has become goodwill towards the unemployed man this holiday in Spain.

Nolan Daniels did not win hundreds of millions of dollars as part of last week's record breaking Powerball $588 million jackpot. But he did trick millions of people on Facebook into thinking he had.

On Wednesday, the Powerball lottery reached a record $587.5 million. So far two winning tickets have been announced, one in Arizona and one in Missouri. But there's at least one more guaranteed winner: the Internal Revenue Service. Lottery winners can take their prize in the form of a lump sum or an annuity paid over the next 29 years...

We'll probably never be this excited, even if Ben & Jerry's comes out with that Jeff Goldblum-themed ice cream we've been dreaming of. This is video of a man who is just realizing he won the massive $587.5 million dollar Powerball Jackpot. Apparently he went around showing everybody because he actually couldn't believe his eyes. The ticket was bought in Arizona, but the video taken is from Mar

I have a big fat loosing Powerball ticket sitting on my desk. Heck, it was fun to dream for a little while about the 'what ifs' of winning $579 million and what great things I could do! I would have been VERY generous with the money if I had won. But every Maine lottery ticket, winner or loser helps Maine’s General Fund. Winning tickets were bought in Arizona and Missouri.

Maybe karma is real -- the man in this video, Bill Morgan, was in a car accident. Then he developed a heart condition. He was allergic to the medicine doctors gave him to treat it and had a heart attack. In fact, his heart stopped for 14 minutes, and he went into a coma. They were about to pull the plug on his life support when things turned around.

A little more than five months ago, a Los Angeles woman bought a lottery ticket at Michael’s Market & Liquor. She then left it in her car and forgot about it, obviously not that enthused with her 18 million-to-one odds of hitting the jackpot. Unbeknownst to her, she hit that jackpot to the turn of $23 million.

Let's face it, if you are a 22-year-old fellow who's just scored a multimillion dollar lottery win, you probably going to be reevaluating your relationship with your current girlfriend.

The jackpot was $8, 190, 000 and they've chosen to take it in one lump sum so after taxes, it will ONLY be $4,148,922. Not bad for an Easy Pick ticket, eh?
