Woman wins $100,000 Powerball jackpot using ChatGPT

Technology Oct 19, 2025

Tammy Carvey, 45, from Wyandotte, Michigan, just scored a $100,000 Powerball win thanks to numbers picked by ChatGPT.
She thought she'd won $50K at first but was happily surprised when the Power Play option doubled her prize.
The lucky numbers? 11, 23, 44, 61, and 62 with Powerball 17.

AI's impact on pure chance games

Carvey only plays when jackpots get huge—this time it had topped $1 billion—and said she was in "total disbelief" after checking her ticket. She plans to pay off her house and save the rest.
Interestingly, she's not alone: last month in Virginia, Carrie Edwards also used ChatGPT for her picks and won $150K—which she donated entirely to charity.
AI is clearly shaking up even games of pure chance these days.
