Saturday’s Powerball Jackpot is Up To $600,000,000

So, what goes into choosing your numbers for Powerball? Do you use birthdays and special dates? Do you use a pattern on the card when you fill it out? Do you use the same numbers week after week? Do you just let the machine pick your numbers? 

I just bought two, and I used sports players number and special dates. My kids’ and wife’s birthdays and played the number 15 for my birthday. Another question I ask myself when buying a lotto ticket, where do I go to buy it? I like to buy from a local dude. I tend to lean towards buying from the cat who owns his or her own store. I know if I win the store gets a cut from the lottery.

Crazy this jackpot is at 600 million dollars and growing. By the drawing tomorrow night it could be ¾ of a billion dollars. That’s all kinds of crazy cash. I can’t even begin to think what I’d do with it. Knowing me I’d spend the next whole lot years spending irresponsibly. However, that’s why I have a wife, she’ll do like boring and appropriate things with the money, like invest it or put some away for the kids’ college funds.  

Would I quit work if won the jackpot? Of course I would. I love my job but I think I’d love total independence more.

The drawing is tomorrow night. Get yours. Just know if you pick my numbers you’re not doing me or yourself any justice.
