You don't need to win powerball to get that... $2000 tops.

I would have to buy some land and build my own personal race track with a replica of Leguna Seca's famous "corkscrew" turn!

And start a company to get WRC back into the United States. YEE HAW~

Holy s*it....where did you go to purchase the tickets? I have $10 in and I figure thats plenty. I don't feel too bad about wasting the money since I buy tickets once a year at the most.

Powerball limits how much it can go up in one drawing by, I believe, $25 million cash (which shows up as around $50 million in the advertised annuity payout). So their estimate of $340 is roughly what you'll win.


FYI, Powerball takes some of the surplus and puts it in a pick5 bonus pool. If someone wins the jackpot, and you get 5 right but not the powerball, you win the standard $200000, plus an equal share of a roughly $13 million side pot. There's usually 20-30 pick5 winners, so getting those 5 right could yield $650k-$1million.
