    Last November, the Iowa Lottery posted the wrong Powerball numbers, citing a “human reporting error”. However, the Iowa Lottery said that the temporary winners – people who had the numbers at issue – could keep their prizes, which ranged from $4 to $200.

    I wonder how this precedent is going to be factored into this situation. $4-$200 is much easier to say “just let them have it” than the jackpot
