The Powerball lottery has been at the center of attention with a record-breaking $200 million jackpot, which was eventually split between two winners. The winning numbers for 01/31/2024 were 15-18-19-41-43 PB 14 PP 2. A math professor's lesson on the improbability of winning the lottery took an ironic turn when he won $100,000. Meanwhile, a group of Kentucky middle school staff won a $1 million jackpot and kept their winning ticket hidden in a math textbook. As the Powerball jackpot soared, Australians were warned about the astronomical odds of winning, and financial experts advised caution and discretion in spending any potential winnings. The Oz Lotteries app and website experienced crashes due to high traffic as about half of Australia's adults participated in the draw. A NSW mum and a Queensland woman each claimed $100 million from the jackpot, with the latter discovering her win before heading to the gym.
