Waz, it takes time to do a number of things.
First of all, they need to check that everything was in order – no glitches, malfunctions, etc.
Secondly, they need to talk with the person who won it, verify identity, etc, explain how to collect their winnings.
Thirdly, they need to prepare a proper news release.
And lastly, many companies don’t work on Saturdays.
No official news has been released to any one – not the public and not the affiliates. So it’s a bit premature to say that we are the last to be told.
The only reason anyone can confirm the likelihood of the jackpot having fallen is because BJInfo and I run independent data monitoring services.
BTW, based on his info and mine, I predict that the jackpot actually fell at 2:14 AM CST based on BJInfo’s time and that the final value will be slightly higher than the number I posted (which was recorded at 2:13).
