Powerball hits highest jackpot of year; Here's where winners could claim it anonymously

The Powerball jackpot has hit the high-water mark of $605 million, attracting players for the highly anticipated drawing on Monday, Aug. 18 at 11 p.m. ET. The grand prize, though sizeable, still has a way to go before it can rank among the top ten Powerball jackpots. To reach the tenth spot, the prize must surpass $731.1 million, which was won in Maryland on Jan. 20, 2021. To claim the top spot, the total payout would need to be over $2.04 billion, which was won in California on Nov. 7, 2022. Laws in some states would allow a winner to claim the jackpot anonymously. If the first winner since the May 31 drawing is in one of those states, we may never know who it is. Aug. 18's jackpot clears all prize-size requirements in states that have them. Arkansas is the only state that grants anonymity for winners on a temporary basis, with the identities of winners in the state shielded for three years. Here are the places where winners can claim lottery prizes anonymously, along with the requirements for doing so. The 'smartest thing' a player can do, in the event of beating the one in 292,201,338 odds, is keep calm and carry on, financial advisers shared with USA TODAY back in 2024. Avoid posting any and all details of your win on social media and limit who you tell about your windfall. 'If you're lucky enough to win the lottery, keep it quiet,' Rob Burnette, an Ohio-based financial adviser at Outlook Financial Center, said. 'Get organized and make a plan. Consider staying anonymous, if it's a possibility.' If you find yourself in a situation where you stand to inherit millions of dollars, the best thing to do is get in touch with financial experts right off the bat so scammers don't have the chance to take advantage before you can cash in. Steve Azoury, owner of Azoury Financial in Troy, Michigan, who has advised many lottery winners, told USA TODAY that a $181 million winner said,' 'If I didn't know you before, I don't want to know you now.'' 'Get a tax attorney and a tax accountant right off the bat and then a financial adviser,' Azoury said. 'They'll work hand in hand to figure out the plan.' Tickets can be purchased in person at gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores. Some airport terminals may also sell lottery tickets. You can also order tickets online throughJackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network, in these U.S. states and territories: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C. and West Virginia. The Jackpocket app allows you to select your lottery game and numbers, place your order, view your ticket, and collect your winnings — all using your phone or home computer.

Why E-commerce Businesses in Bahrain Need a Custom Website ?

In a digitally connected world, having a strong online presence is no longer a luxury — it's a necessity. For small businesses in Bahrain, a professional website can be the difference between being seen or being forgotten. Whether you run a local café, a beauty salon, a boutique, or a service-based company, your potential customers are searching online — and you need to show up. That's where a website development company in Bahrain comes in. While it may seem like an added expense at first, investing in a professionally built website delivers long-term benefits, especially for small businesses competing for local attention. Here's how partnering with a local web development company can empower your business. 1. Establishes a Professional Online Presence First impressions matter — and your website is often the first place a customer interacts with your brand. A professionally designed website builds trust and credibility instantly. It shows that your business is legitimate, reliable, and ready to serve. A Bahraini web development company will ensure your website reflects your brand values and is aligned with local customer expectations, including Arabic and English language support. 2. Boosts Local Visibility and Reach Your customers are online — and so are your competitors. With local SEO optimization, your website can appear in Google search results when people look for services or products in Bahrain. A website development company familiar with the Bahraini market can implement local SEO strategies, like optimizing for Arabic keywords, location-based pages, and mobile-first design. This increases your chances of being found — even by customers who didn't know you existed. 3. Cost-Effective Marketing Tool Compared to traditional advertising (flyers, newspapers, radio), a website is a 24/7 marketing machine. It works for you around the clock, showcasing your services, collecting leads, sharing promotions, and answering customer queries. A local development team can help you integrate tools like booking systems, contact forms, and WhatsApp chat — making it easier to convert visitors into customers without extra staffing or resources. 4. Tailored to Your Business Goals Every small business has different needs. Maybe you need a simple website to list your services, or maybe you want an online store to sell handmade products. A Bahrain-based development company will provide customized solutions that fit your goals and your budget — without unnecessary features or inflated pricing. They'll help you grow online at a pace that makes sense for your business. 5. Ongoing Support and Maintenance Unlike DIY website builders or overseas freelancers, a local web development partner offers ongoing support. If your website needs updates, bug fixes, or content changes, they're just a call away. This is especially helpful for small business owners who may not have in-house tech support. Plus, regular maintenance keeps your site secure, fast, and running smoothly. Final Thoughts For small businesses in Bahrain, a professional website is a smart investment — not just an expense. It increases visibility, builds credibility, and opens new growth opportunities. By working with a trusted website development company in Bahrain, you get a site tailored to your needs, your market, and your customers. Don't wait for your competitors to take the lead online. Take the first step toward growing your business with a website that works as hard as you do. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
