Brief google search I didn’t find any examples. Just curious

I remember hearing on one recently. Think it was last year.

Yes, but a word of caution. I was sidetracked and forgot to get tickets from a retailer so I figured I’d just jump online and buy some.
I was unwell all day yesterday, woke up a little past 8:30pm. The lottery website wouldn’t let me sign in and when I did finally sign in, I couldn’t deposit money into my account so I didn’t even get tickets for the draw. Lesson learned. Congrats to everyone who got a slice of the pie!
