No Winners in $524 Million Powerball Jackpot
No Winners in $524 Million Powerball Jackpot
No one had the winning numbers for the estimated $524 million Powerball jackpot -- 47, 2, 63, 62, 11 and the Powerball of 17
Which means Saturday's jackpot will be an estimated $675 million, the largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history.
The odds were 1 in 292 million against you winning the $500 million jackpot in Wednesday night's game.
The odds may say that you're not going to win. But here are a few things that you're actually more likely to do:
- Have an IQ of 190 or greater (1 out of 107 million)
- Give birth to quadruplets, even without the help of fertility treatments - (1 in 729,000)
- Be killed by an asteroid strike (1 in 700,000)
- Being an American billionaire (1 in 575,097)
- Be killed by a lightning strike - (1 in 164,968)
- Die by drowning (1 in 1,113)
- Be struck by lightning, while drowning (1 in 183 million)

Good, since I was too lazy to go out after work last night to pick up a couple of tickets.
My guess is that by Saturday the jackpot will be well above $700 million.

The news this morning is saying 650 million. But people will lose their mind over this and spend more money then they should. So I think you you are closer to the actual jackpot. I wish 700 people could each win a million.....
Better than one win so much money.

Re: No Winners in $524 Million Powerball Jackpot
So for fun, what are three things you would buy if you won the Powerball jackpot on Saturday.
And it has to be things you would buy for yourself.
For me:
1) I'd buy a small building and start a microbrewery.
2) A vacation home on Ocracoke Island, NC
3) Beechcraft King Air 300 to fly people to said vacation home.

Re: No Winners in $524 Million Powerball Jackpot
I never buy lottery tickets but if I did and won a large sum I'd first take care of family needs--not wants, but needs. I would then donate thousands/millions to local historical societies who are in desperate need of funds to keep operating. To think that millions of people invest in a few bucks (or more) in hopes of winning a pot of money that is so obscene in amount and yet no one can win but maybe a few bucks. Why not spread the money around giving many more people chances of winning large sums.
