An Indiana man who won $500K on the Hoosier Lottery will get his payday, even though his ticket was shredded in front of his eyes by an inattentive store clerk, as first reported by The Lottery Post.

At a meeting of the Hoosier Lottery Commission in Indianapolis earlier this month, officials voted to honor the prize for state resident Paul Marshall.





With just hours remaining, the Powerball grand prize is estimated to hit $295 million. This is the sum if the winner chooses monthly installment payments; if the future winner picks a lump-sum cash amount, they can take home about $135.8 million. Since early October, the grand prize of America’s favorite lottery has been gradually growing, starting from $20 million. Surviving the draws so far, the jackpot is getting closer to $300 million for its drawing scheduled for Monday, November 20, 2023.
