July 2, 2008, two days after Epstein began serving his Florida prison sentence, a company called Zorro Trust won the Oklahoma state Powerball lottery, in the amount of $85 million. The trust opted for a one-time cash payout that amounted to $29.3 million, after taxes.

 

Incredibly, on that same night Zorro Trust won the lottery โ€” July 2, 2008 โ€” a computer malfunction preempted the live televised broadcast of Oklahomaโ€™s Pick 3 lottery drawing. Viewers tuning in to KOKH-FOX and KOCB-CW at 9:58 p.m. saw only a notice that the drawing wouldnโ€™t be shown due to technical difficulties. The glitch wasnโ€™t fixed in time for the 10 p.m. newscasts. The drawing was held later that night, monitored by an auditing firm, according to lottery marketing director Jay Finks. The Powerball drawing โ€” the one whose winning ticket the Zorro Trust would claim nearly two months later โ€” was a separate draw. Whether it too was affected that night, I have not yet been able to confirm.
