SATURDAY’S POWERBALL JACKPOT ESTIMATED AT $800 MILLION

  

Ticket sales are at record levels for Saturday’s Powerball drawing.  The winning jackpot is over $800 million now, making it the largest of any lottery game in US history.  Powerball ticket sales were brisk Friday at the local Buccaneer Food Store on Prairie Lee Street.  Store manager Adam Davis explains:

 

The odds of winning are just one in 292 million. That’s higher than getting hit by an asteroid or getting struck by lightning….while drowning.  No one has matched all five white balls and one red Powerball to grab the jackpot since early November. That hasn’t prevented people from trying.  We asked customers at Buccaneer who were purchasing Powerball tickets what they would do if they won the 800 million dollar jackpot:

 

The Powerball drawing is 9:59 Central time Saturday night.  Ticket sales for the drawing end at 9:45pm.
