Most Expensive Lottery Ticket In The World

lottery

What was the most expensive lottery ticket in the world?

On February 18 2006 eight meatpackers from Nebraska watched their numbers come in.

After the Powerball numbers of 15, 17, 43, 44 and 48, with a Powerball number of 29, were drawn, the group was $365 million richer as they held the world’s most expensive lottery ticket.

David Gehle, Chasity Rutjens, Dung Tran, Robert Stewart, Mike Terpstra, Alain Maboussou, Quang Dao and Eric Zornes were that lucky eight and after settling for the lump sum payment, splitting the money and paying their taxes, each will bring home the bacon to the tune of $15.5 million USD.
