Welcome to this week’s “Lotto Matrix,” a weekly Friday compilation of the lottery industry’s most significant, interesting, or absurd happenings. An Orange County, California, man has finally received his $44 million lottery jackpot winnings after an unexpectedly long wait. The winner, Jerry, purchased the winning Powerball ticket at a Ralphs store in Dana Point for the August 19 drawing. Weeks after the win, he became concerned about the delay in receiving his prize and contacted a local media outlet for help.
