An American woman aged 45 from Michigan won $100,000 in the Powerball lottery, known for its large jackpots, after using numbers generated by ChatGPT. The woman stated that she only plays Powerball when the jackpot is significant, and in this case, it exceeded one billion dollars. She bought a ticket and used a combination of numbers suggested by ChatGPT. In the drawing on September 6, she guessed four of the five white balls and the red Powerball, initially winning $50,000. The winnings were doubled due to the activation of the Power Play option, which costs an additional dollar per ticket. After checking her winnings, she realized that the total amount was $100,000. The woman stated that she would use the money to pay off her house and save. The Michigan lottery warned players that the results of the drawings are random and cannot be predicted using artificial intelligence.
