NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Florida has its second Powerball winner in a week, but this one will split a much smaller jackpot with winners in Louisiana and Delaware.

Each will get a third of the jackpot, estimated at $50 million over 20 years, or a $31.1 million lump sum. A week ago, a ticket bought in Zephyrhills, Fla., won a $590 million annuity or an estimated $376.9 million cash.

Lottery officials in Louisiana and Florida said Saturday's winning tickets were bought in New Orleans and Tampa. Delaware's lottery website did not say where that winner was bought.

Wednesday's jackpot drops to an estimated $40 million, or $24.9 million cash.

The number of winning tickets isn't a record. Louisiana Lottery spokeswoman Kimberly Chopin said a $295 million jackpot in 2001 was split four ways.

There's no ritual but it's just been on my mind so it's like, let me just join the hype and just do it." (AP Photo/David Goldman)

I had 4 numbers correct

December 10, 2012 10:29 am

And got $100.00. I think they should give bigger prizes to the people who get 4 and 5 numbers right. If they would have made the prizes bigger maybe a few thousand instead of 1 hundred I could've had my dental issues corrected by picking even 4 numbers. I think getting 4 numbers right deserves more don't you?. I'm talking for everybody not just me. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS ! I'll keep trying.

Sooo....can he sue the Associated Press

...if his home is burglarized; if he is hounded by persons and organizations begging for money; or pestered by the media? I buy a lottery ticket each week--suddenly I'm not so sure I want to win. Money is great, but privacy has an intrinsic value as well.

More abuse of "the people have a right to know"

December 11, 2012 7:54 am

The press continues to disrespect everyone else for $. It didn't matter to AP that the man wanted to remain anomalous when they could make a few more bucks exposing him. No matter to them the consequence to him profits out-way behaving in a humane manner.
