Naples Has A New Powerball Millionaire But The Big Jackpot Went To California – Again

Another massive Powerball jackpot, another winner in California. At least Naples Florida got in on the winning. According to WFLA, someone in Naples has a one million dollar winning ticket. The person bought the ticket at the Sunshine Supermarket located at 50 Wilson Boulevard South, Suite 1 in Naples. If you bought your ticket at that store in East Naples, you need to check your numbers.

22, 24, 40, 52, 64 and Powerball 10.

The 1.76 billion dollar winning ticket was sold at Midway Market & Liquor in Frazier Park, California. It’s a pretty remote area just north of Thousand Oaks. But like I said, it’s another big winner in California. That makes three in the past year. Let’s take a look at those jackpots.

$2.04 billion, Powerball, Nov. 8, 2022. There was one winning ticket, in California.

$1.08 billion, Powerball, July 19, 2023. There was one winning ticket, in California.

$1.765 billion, Powerball, Oct. 11, 2023. There was one winning ticket, in California.

It’s not all in California, however, there’s been 3 other Powerball jackpots won in 2023. But all of them were less than one billion. So I guess the secret to winning the jackpot once it reaches one billion is to have your friend in California buy you a ticket. Crazy.

Put your conspiracy hats away, however, because Powerball drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 pm ET from the Florida Lottery studio in Tallahassee.

Anyway, congrats to our big winner here in Naples. With your new found wealth you now can afford to live in Naples.

Naples Florida Single Family Homes You Can Buy For Less Than $300,000

  • 1975 Everglades Blvd S, - $250,000

    This place reminds me of the shack where Ray Finkle grew up in rural Collier County. It does come with over 2 1/2 acres. There are other houses in the area so I’m assuming there’s utilities. This lovely single family home was built in 1984 making me really wonder how it has survived all the hurricanes that have been through here since then. Just a few blocks down from Palmetto Elementary it might be a place to start a family. Plan for some 14 mile trips to the nearest hardware store as it appears this is a bit of a ‘fixer upper’.

  • 5477 Martin St - $270,000

    This cozy 3 bed, 2 bath, 1100 square foot home located in Naples Manor is currently in foreclosure. A true handyman’s dream as the first thing you’ll need to do is replace the roof. And the ac. And try to figure out just what was going on in that bathroom. As a bonus, there’s no neighbors adjacent on the back of the house so the kids will have room to play. Once you remove all the debris, of course.

  • 117 Audubon Rd - $275,000

    To start, this is in a 55+ community so that knocks out the starter home idea. But other than that, this place really doesn’t look too bad. A 2 bedroom, 2 bath, with docks and gulf access. HOA just $16 a month. I’m actually fans of the current residents because, as the pictures show, they clearly hate furniture. When there’s no couches or tables there’s so much more room for activities. We could make bunk beds!

  • 2364 Bayside St - $275,000

    Is this a house or a shed? I think it may actually be a shed. This biggest selling point, as the realtor noted in all caps “NO HOA FEES OR RESTRICTIONS”. So, do whatever you want. The front door appears to be boarded, so it’s possible that the furniture comes with. That couch looks like it has stories.

  • 46 Lanai Ct - $299,900

    Your last choice hits the upper range of our $300,000 limit. Located in Lely Tropical Estates this 2 bed/2 bath 915 square foot home looks well maintained. Aside from some questionable judgment on decor, this might be the best of the bunch.

  • And that's it.

    If you’re looking to move into a single family home in Naples with a $300,000 budget, those are your options. Don’t forget to also budget in the near 8% mortgage interest rate, which certainly eats into purchasing power.

    I spoke with my neighbor about this yesterday. How can we really expect working class people to move here when they can’t afford to live? The solution used to be, live in Lehigh and drive to work. But even Lehigh Acres is getting too expensive for regular people. And making everyone drive long commutes to work just further crowds our roads. What’s the answer?
