Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't know if you've been paying attention or not.
We did.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
If you want to go to my Facebook page, you
can see part of the Laborty weekend photo dump I did.
We made a trip Friday down to the Grand Canyon Spectacular,
second time I've been there. But on the way back,
my brother in law, Ross wanted to stop at the
last truck stop in Arizona and buy lottery tickets. I said, dude,
(00:27):
we've been down here three or four times, and I said,
you're never going to win it. You have a better
chance of being struck by lightning with a shark in
your mouth. But after smashing through the one billion dollar
mark tonight's powerball jackpot, are you ready for this one
(00:48):
point three billion dollars, making it the fifth largest in
the history of powerball. Now, if somebody matches all five
and the powerball, you choose. But between a one time
cash payment of five hundred eighty nine million dollars or
their yearly payout, you know which is scaled down.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
And that's always a fun thing to talk about.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
We talked about it the whole way home, but nobody
did take home the big jackpot Monday night.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
But when it's this darn big.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Even if you only get a few numbers right, the
payouts are enormous. Two people in Montana and North Carolina
only matched a few of the numbers and made two
million dollars Saturday night. Ten people in California, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan,
(01:40):
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia took home one
million dollars. Isn't that incredible? I mean, with just a
few numbers matching. Just to put it into perspective, the
last time the jackpot was hit was May. This is
the forty first consecutive drawing men into tonight with no winner.
