Powerball Winner Still Not Determined, Despite Woman Saying She Won $1.08B In Emotional Video

According to The Independent, Herrera’s daughters think the woman is the daughter of the customer who bought the ticket. While they’re speculating what happened, the state lottery has a thorough process that all winners must go through before they receive the money.
“The California Lottery will NOT know who the winner is until someone completes and turns in a claim form, which also requires producing the winning ticket,” Carolyn Becker, deputy director of Public Affairs and Communications for the California Lottery, wrote in a statement to The Independent. “The California Lottery typically does not publicly confirm or acknowledge when a prize claim has been received because there’s no way to be certain any given claim is legitimate.”
