Here’s a fun human glitch for you: sometimes the brain meets life-changing news and replies with, “Cool. Let’s clean the carpet.”
That’s basically what happened to Ron Rothe, 73, from Denison, Iowa. He’d been driving around for a week with a Powerball ticket in his glove compartment—because, like most of us, he assumed big wins only happen to someone else, somewhere else. Rumors floated around town that a $1 million ticket had been sold locally. Cute story. Probably not him.

That’s exactly what happened to Robin and her mom, Helen, from Indiana. The billion-dollar Powerball hype was everywhere — like a neon sign flashing “you’re broke and boring, buy a ticket.” Robin figured, why not?

So, here’s a fun way to spend your Saturday night: two lottery tickets — one in Missouri, one in Texas — just hit the Powerball jackpot. Not just any jackpot. We’re talking $1.8 billion. Yes, billion with a “B.” That’s the second-largest lottery win in human history.

Here’s the setup: Deborah Sexton from Davidson, North Carolina hadn’t played the lottery in over a year. Then she saw the Powerball jackpot sitting at $700 million and thought, “Alright, maybe I’ll give it a shot.”
She walked into a Harris Teeter, picked up some Powerball tickets, and almost called it a day. Almost. Her husband suggested she add a Mega Millions ticket too. She did — more out of habit than strategy
