In a story as unusual as it is fascinating, a Michigan resident won a $100,000 prize in the Powerball lottery by using numbers generated by ChatGPT artificial intelligence. This victory, which blends modern technology and luck, is making headlines and sparking interest among lottery enthusiasts and AI fans alike.
Numbers Chosen with ChatGPT
Tammy Carvey, a 45-year-old woman from Wyandotte, decided to try her luck at Powerball in September, when the jackpot reached dizzying heights, exceeding a billion dollars. “I only play when the jackpots get really big,” she confides. This time, instead of choosing her numbers randomly or relying on significant dates, Tammy had an original idea: she asked ChatGPT, the famous artificial intelligence model, to provide her with a combination of numbers.

With a touch of curiosity, she entered her request into the tool and obtained a series of numbers that she immediately used to buy a ticket online. “I thought it would be fun to try something different,” she says with a smile. And what intuition! During the September 6 drawing, her ticket turned out to be a winner: it matched four main numbers and the Powerball, earning her an initial prize of $50,000.

AI and also… luck!
But the story doesn’t end there. When checking her winnings, Tammy discovered an even more exciting surprise. Thanks to the “Power Play” option she had added to her ticket, her prize was doubled to $100,000. “When I saw the winning numbers, I was already in shock that I had won something,” she explains.
This victory surprisingly illustrates how artificial intelligence, often associated with complex or creative tasks, can find its way into unpredictable areas like the lottery. Of course, ChatGPT doesn’t guarantee success—after all, the lottery is primarily based on chance—but this anecdote shows how a bold idea and a touch of technology can lead to unexpected results. Tammy, for her part, is savoring her luck and already thinking about how to use her winnings.
Her story is likely to inspire other players to explore original approaches… and perhaps ask AI for a little help with their next ticket!
