Powerball Jackpot Once Again Close to $100 Million
Earlier this month, an Oregon player won the grand prize from America’s popular lottery game, Powerball. At the time, the player triumphed by securing the mind-blowing $1.33 billion jackpot, representing the fourth-largest prize in the history of the game.
Not even two weeks have passed since the jackpot started to grow from the standard $20 million value. Surviving the draw on Wednesday, April 17, enabled the grand prize to get closer to the mouth-watering $100 million.
The estimated jackpot for Powerball’s upcoming drawing is $98 million, in case the winner decides to accept annual installments. If somebody wins the jackpot on the upcoming drawing, they can instead collect a lump cash sum of $45.8 million, which is a far cry from the staggering $100 million but still life-changing, to say the least.
The winning numbers from Wednesday’s drawing included white balls 24, 29, 44, 47 and 54, as well as red Powerball 2. While nobody guessed correctly all the winning numbers, one customer hit a second-tier prize by guessing all five white balls. This granted them a $1 million prize.
Three lottery players who guessed correctly four white balls together with the red Powerball collected a $50,000 prize each, while one lucky player took home a $100,000 Power Play prize.
As usual, the biggest number of prizes were within the lowest tier. Nearly 250,000 lottery players won $4 each, while more than 95,000 people took home an $8 Power Play prize each.
The upcoming drawing of the Powerball is scheduled for Saturday, April 20, 2024.
Mega Millions Jackpot on the Rise
Similar to Powerball, the jackpot from Mega Millions also dropped recently. Late last month, one New Jersey player scored the game’s historic jackpot, by guessing correctly the drawn winning numbers, 7, 11, 22, 29, 38 and Mega Ball 4. As a result, they hit the mind-blowing $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpot. The grand prize marked the game’s fifth-largest jackpot.
Now, as the grand prize from Powerball continues to grow, so does the jackpot from Mega Millions. With the lottery game’s next drawing scheduled for Friday, April 19, the estimated jackpot is at $178 million. A cash option for the game’s jackpot is the whopping $79.6 million.
The grand prize survived the Mega Millions drawing on Tuesday. Surprisingly, no one collected a million-dollar prize too. However, 15 lucky players took home $10,000 each, while three went home with a $40,000 Megaplier prize each.

Online Casino Forced to Repay Gambler €200K by Dutch Court
Strict rules safeguard the consumers and the gambling market available to customers in the Netherlands. Per the existing regulations, online gambling operators are not permitted to offer their services to Dutch customers without a license. Although the country started regulating online gambling a few years ago, several cases predating the regulations were ruled in favor of gamblers who lost a lot of money.
For example, in November, two gambling operators were ordered by a Dutch court to pay back €124,000 ($132,000) and €93,000 ($99,0000) to individuals who lost them while gambling online. The court’s rulings were in favor of the gamblers as the operators that provided their services did so without a license to operate in the Netherlands.
In a similar case, another Dutch gambler won a lawsuit, despite losing €200,000 ($212,900) while gambling online. The case involves a person who gambled between January 2018 and November 2019, ahead of the legalization of online gambling in the Netherlands. At the time, iGaming was illegal, but as it turns out, some operators offered their services regardless of that prohibition.
As announced by NL Times, the Overijssel court ordered casino operator Bwin to return the money an unnamed Dutch gambler lost while using the services of the operator. Upon announcing the ruling, the court said that the operator offered its services to the customer without the required gambling license. This, according to the court, made the contract between the gambler and the operator invalid.
The Court Rules in Favor of the Gambler
According to the gambler’s defense, the operator did not enforce player protection or attempt to decrease the losses of their client. Moreover, the defense argued that although their client displayed signs of problem gambling, the operator did not intervene.
Bwin responded to the allegations, claiming that it offers a wide range of responsible gambling options. Such include options for time and deposit limits, as well as self-exclusion. Moreover, Bwin said that while it operated without a license, this did not void its agreement with the customer.
The court did not agree with the operator’s position and sided with the gambler. As a result, the Overijssel court ruled the operator to repay the customer more than €187,000 ($199,000), money that the man lost while gambling online. Additionally, the operator was ordered to pay for the costs associated with the lawsuit, taking the total to nearly €200,000 ($212,900).

Florida Begins Unlicensed Slot Machine Crackdown Following Bill Enactment
Law enforcement in Florida wasted little time in initiating its crackdown on suspected illegal slot machines after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) last week signed legislation allowing seized machines and associated money to become state property.
DeSantis signed House Bill 5203 which allows cash “and other things of value” like gaming machines seized by law enforcement to be retained and sold by the state. Since the governor signed the statute into law, the Florida Gaming Control Commission’s Division of Gaming Enforcement has carried out several raids of businesses advertised as arcades and amusement centers that state officials allege are running illegal gambling operations.
