Another Huge Powerball Jackpot $425 Million
The lines will be long at convenience stores as tonight's Powerball jackpot reaches $425 million. It's not the biggest in history but could be Saturday if there is no winner tonight. The drawing will be held at 10:59pm but stores will stop selling tickets one hour before the drawing. So don't put off getting off getting yours til the last minute like I did last time. My husband wasn't too happy.
The chances of picking a winning Powerball ticket are roughly one in about 175 million. So you have a better chance of being hit by lightning. If you do have the winning ticket and want it all at once, you'll only receive $244 million after taxes. That's still A LOT of money! What would do with it all?
Currently Google mapping islands so we can get started on beach house construction ASAP in case of #powerball win.
