Jackpot Winners
The Powerball drawing of June 27, 2007 produced Oklahoma's second winning jackpot ticket for the game, and largest to date: $105.8 million (annuitized). It was bought in Roland, just over the Arkansas line. Don Harvey, 64, and his wife, Joyce, 50, of Muldrow claimed the prize on June 29, 2007; they chose the cash option, and received approximately $33.7 million after withholdings. In June 2006 an Oklahoman won $101 million.
July 2, 2008 produced one jackpot winner in Oklahoma for not only Powerball, but also Hot Lotto. It was the first time that the same jurisdiction provided at least one jackpot winner in both games on the same day.

“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
