$500 million up for grabs!
Update: Three tickets (from North Carolina, Puerto Rico, and Texas) have matched ALL six numbers in the $564.1 million Powerball jackpot. The three winners will have to split the sum, which even after taxes, isn’t too bad: $381,138,450.16 The jackpot was the third-largest in Powerball history and the fifth-largest U.S. lottery prize.
The winning numbers in Wednesday’s drawing were: 11, 13, 25, 39, 54 and the Powerball 19. (deb)

To put that in some perspective, that means that if there is one single winner tonight, that person could turn around and purchase 250 million tickets for the next game drawing. (Tickets cost $2 each.) The odds of winning are 1 in 175 million. That said…if you finish reading this story…and then you go out, buy a ticket and win the whole thing, please remember to share with the person that put the idea in your head in the first place.
