TL;DR Summary

John and Lisa Robinson from Munford, Tennessee, won the historic $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot in 2016. They appeared on the "Today" show before officially claiming their prize and decided to go public to "control" the story. The Robinsons took the lump sum of over $327 million before taxes and used the money to pay off debts, including their daughter's student loans, and splurge on family members. They also purchased a $6.2 million, 10-bedroom home on a 320-acre lot with a private lake.
