It's not a record amount but it's more than enough money for your life to be changed significantly. Saturday's Powerball Jackpot is estimated to be in excess of $250 million.
You know the Powerball doesn't have to be over a billion dollars to really change your life. It's over a quarter of a billion right now and you probably didn't even notice.
So maybe we didn't win our share of the $1.6-billion record-breaking Powerball jackpot, but there are still more than 25 tickets in the various Louisiana lottery games that are worth at least $5,000. There's even one ticket worth a cool million sold southeast of Houma, and it expires on February 1st...
There was one ticket sold in Louisiana that is worth one million dollars this morning, however the really big money will keep getting bigger until Saturday night's drawing.
