What would you do first if you won the lottery?
Quit my job
Buy a new house
Buy gifts for my family
Give some of it to charity
Run away and hide
Do you play the lottery?
Yes, all the time
Sometimes, when I feel lucky
Never, it's a waste of money
Lets all pick a number, and see if the numbers that we come up with come out in the drawing. I'll pick the first number: 31.
Who else is in?
The odds of winning are: 1 in 120,526,770
Powerball Pot Grows To $215 Million

(Dec. 19) - No one won the jackpot in the latest Powerball drawing, sending the top prize in the multistate lottery to an estimated $215 million for Saturday.
The regular numbers drawn Wednesday night were two, 14, 33, 50 and 52 and the Powerball itself was 22. The Power Play number was five.
Players matching all five numbers and the Powerball would have won or shared a $163.3 million jackpot.
Tickets that match the first five numbers, but miss the Powerball, win $100,000 each, and there were 15 of those. Four of those tickets were sold in Pennsylvania, and one ticket each in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon and West Virginia.
There were 112,469 Wisconsin winners of smaller prizes in the drawing totaling $576,845, the Wisconsin Lottery said.
It said $4.11 million in Powerball tickets were sold in Wisconsin for the drawing, including $2.45 million Wednesday alone.
No one won the latest Wisconsin Megabucks jackpot either, sending the top prize in that state lottery for Saturday to an estimated $1.9 million.
The Megabucks numbers drawn Wednesday night, when the jackpot was $1.7 million, were five, 10, 13, 20, 35 and 41.
Thirteen tickets matched five numbers, 487 matched four and 9,098 matched three, the Wisconsin Lottery said.
