Powerball lottery office pools are e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e, individuals are carefully placing their tickets in the safest places possible, such as under their pillow with a prayer, in a zip-lock bag locked away in their desk, or a safety deposit box… because someone… somewhere… could be a BILLIONAIRE!

The current Powerball Lottery total… is now $1.5 BILLION!!! The cash value = $930,000,000!

Tonight will be the 20th drawing in the green-as-green-can-be Powerball Lottery, and the odds have it there will be more than one winner.

If you are a Powerball newbie, tickets are $2, or $3 for a Power Play ticket, which increases the value of non-jackpot prizes.

There are several ways to win, according to CNN:

To win the Grand Prize, your ticket must match all (5) numbers (in any order) and the red Powerball number.

Tickets with more matching numbers are eligible to win $7, $100, $50,000 or $1 million. See all the ways to win here.

Persons with just (1) matching Powerball number receive $4.00.

Tonight’s Powerball Lottery drawing happens at 9:59pm CT.

Will you be calling your job tomorrow to say, “I quit, good luck, what-a-mess, God bless”?
