Man Sues Powerball For Posting Wrong Numbers
- A man is suing the organizers of Powerball for mistakenly making him think he was a millionaire.
- In January 2023, John Cheeks thought he'd won $340 million after his lottery ticket matched up with numbers posted to the Powerball website.
- But administrators say the numbers weren't the real winners, but a test that had been "mistakenly posted".
- Now, Cheeks is suing organizers for - you guessed it - $340 million, claiming gross negligence, breach of contract, and emotional distress.
- The defendants say it was clear the website numbers weren't real - in fact, they were posted before the drawing was even held.
- Does Cheeks have a case here? What would you do with $340 million?
