Last month the Powerball Jack pot reached an impressive $400 million dollar mark. Prize amounts have increased since a recent raise in ticket prices from one to two dollars as well as the inclusion to California into the games.
The winning ticket for last months Powerball was purchased at a Murphy USA gas station in Lexington, S.C. After the annoucment Executive director of South Carolina Educational Lottery, Paula Harper Bethea urged the winner to keep careful by, releasing a statement saying:
"There is somebody out there who is $399.4 million richer than they were yesterday! If the (winner) is watching, we encourage them to: 1. sign the back of the check, 2. put it in a safe location, and then 3. seek counsel. This is life changing, there are a lot of zeroes in the amount of money this person or these persons are going to get."
The life changing ticket was claimed a few days later by the winner who chose to stay anonymous.
Still despite one persons major success the Mega Millions website urges participants to play responsibly:
"Although most people can play Mega Millions and other lottery games without ill effects, there are some people for whom gambling of any sort can be addictive and very damaging. Like other addictions, gambling addiction is a treatable disease. 12-step programs have proven to be particularly helpful.All of the Mega Millions member lotteries support and encourage thework of groups like Gamblers Anonymous and the National Council on Problem Gambling to combat gambling addiction and encourage responsible play.If you think you or a loved one may have a gambling addiction, or if you want to learn more, you can call the National Council on Problem Gambling's confidential 24-hour hotline: 800-522-4700.
