Here's my take:

I built a portion to check for duplicate draw dates because that would immediately make this analysis bogus and not worthwhile. Afterwards, I added a Multi-Row Tool to find the total accumulated from the last draw whenever there was a new total of 0 (I interpreted this as a cashout for the winner). As we're looking for a single winner of the jackpot total, I thought to look for the highest cashout. I am assuming that the total field is not a summarisation of the other money fields, but that assumption needs a follow-up.407.png

This was a nice and simple problem although, there is a mistake in the problem statement, since no draws have a sole winner 6/6 matches who "claim the entire accumulated jackpot" since every draw had 5/6 & 4/6 winners who also won some of the money. Regardless here is the solution:

This was a pretty interesting challenge.

I thought I had to convert the dots to commas, and the last comma to a dot. Couldn't find any ReplaceLast, so I thought this became impossible until I saw the output with no commas and figured that in order for the Summarize to calculate a Max it required no commas. I just complicated my life for nothing. lol
