Did Jeffrey Epstein win an $85 million Powerball jackpot in 2008? In this first episode of a multi-part investigation, The Studies Show takes a fact-based, academic-inspired look at the origins of the conspiracy theory, the limited firsthand reporting that exists, what the recently released Epstein files actually say, and whether the weaker claims hold up to scrutiny. Using newspaper archives, court documents, and original research, this series goes deeper on this topic than any coverage to date.In upcoming episodes: how the lottery has actually been rigged before, whether Powerball could have been compromised in 2008, unreported coincidences surrounding the win, and interviews with sources close to the original story.Alexander Webb is the founder of The Studies Show, which uses academic research as a lens to examine the world. He has previously written for the New York Times, National Geographic, WIRED, Business Insider, and other publications.Full written investigation with additional documents and sources: thestudiesshow.com
