A ticket purchased at Casey's in Rockford, Illinois, has hit the jackpot by matching Friday's winning numbers: 2, 14, 33, 58, and 65, as reported by the Illinois Lottery.

In addition to the winner's massive prize, the store will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Once the winner steps forward, they will face a significant choice: opt for a lump-sum payout of approximately $500,000 or choose to receive the full $1 million in multiple installments.

Delaware State

In an intriguing turn of events, three lucky Powerball players from Delaware have yet to step forward and claim their combined winnings of $250,000. These unclaimed prizes come from recent drawings where each of the winners correctly matched four out of the five white balls plus the red Powerball, a feat that has earned them substantial rewards. Each of these three players participated in the Delaware Lottery's Powerball game and secured the Match 4 Plus Powerball prize. Two of the winners are each entitled to a $50,000 prize, while the third player made an additional play that boosted their winnings to $150,000. Despite the considerable sums at stake, all three winners remain anonymous, and the cash remains unclaimed. With a quarter of a million dollars waiting to be collected, Delaware Lottery officials are encouraging players to check their tickets to see if they could be one of the lucky winners. The process for claiming lottery winnings in Delaware requires the ticket holder to come forward with their winning ticket to verify the win and collect their prize. The Delaware Lottery has a time limit for claiming prizes, and if these winners do not come forward within the specified period, the money could potentially go unclaimed. For those who are unaware, the Match 4 Plus Powerball combination is a significant achievement in the lottery world. While it falls short of the grand jackpot, it still offers substantial financial rewards, which these three players have managed to secure. The Delaware Lottery continues to urge all Powerball participants in the state to review their tickets, as the clock is ticking for these unclaimed prizes. It remains to be seen whether these winners will come forward before the deadline, but the anticipation is growing as the lottery community waits to see who will step into the spotlight and claim their share of the $250,000. This situation serves as a reminder to all lottery players to keep their tickets safe and check them regularly. In the rush of daily life, it's easy to overlook a potentially life-changing win. For the three Delaware players in question, a quarter of a million dollars is waiting—if they realize it in time. #PowerballWinners #DelawareLottery #UnclaimedPrizes #LotteryNews #WinningTickets #LotteryAlert #NewsBreak #LifeChangingWinnings #CheckYourTickets.

**California Supreme Court Upholds Proposition 22: Gig Workers to Remain Independent Contractors** The California Supreme Court has upheld Proposition 22, ensuring that Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash workers will continue to operate as independent contractors. This decision, reported by CalMatters, represents a significant victory for ride-hailing and food delivery companies, which invested substantial resources into campaigning for the proposition to avoid reclassifying gig workers as employees. Prop 22 does offer some protections for these workers, such as paying 120 percent of the local minimum wage for active driving hours, providing a health insurance stipend, and covering job-related injuries. However, these benefits fall short of the comprehensive range of benefits that would have been mandated if the workers were classified as employees. This ruling allows companies like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Instacart to maintain their current business models while offering limited protections to their workers. #Prop22 #CaliforniaSupremeCourt #GigEconomy #IndependentContractors #Uber #Lyft #DoorDash #RideHailing #FoodDelivery #GigWorkers #WorkerRights #CaliforniaLaw #EmploymentLaw #HealthInsurance #MinimumWage ..
