Carrie Edwards from Virginia won $150,000 in the September 8 Powerball after asking ChatGPT for lottery numbers. “I’m like, ChatGPT, talk to me… Do you have numbers for me?” she recalled. The AI-generated numbers matched four of the first five, and with the $1 Power Play feature, her winnings tripled. Edwards donated the entire amount to three charities, including the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration, showcasing the impact of luck and technology.
