Don’t believe this Powerball meme going viral on social media

The winning numbers are picked Wednesday at 7 p.m. If that one second is exactly the one right second during that 9 year period, you win the game.

As the world’s largest Powerball jackpot grows, so does the chance for ticket-sellers to be robbed.

The Poweball Jackpot has reached such a record number that the billboard can’t adequately display its true value of $1.5 billion.

Only a ticket holder who opts to collect the jackpot in annual payments will gets the entire $1.5 billion.

“You can win this money, but this money could also bring a lot of problems”. It’s the same location where a customer bought a winning ticket of $1 million over the weekend.

“The same people are still playing the other games but new customers are playing Powerball”, said Bill Bulck, employee at Lake Bluff Shell in Milwaukee.

Statistics show nationally half of tickets sold, are to families making less than $28,000 per year. The cash option on the prize would be $806 million. Many billboards and signs advertising the jackpot read $999 million because they were not created to advertise a billion-dollar jackpot. Hey, I was so sure my time had finally come I even went vehicle shopping to celebrate the occasion.

According to the NCEL winning $50,000 tickets were also sold at convenient stores in Catawba and Cumberland Counties and two locations in Randolph County.

“The best thing to do is to call up the lotto people and say, ‘Hey look, I’m buying all the tickets”, he said, laughing.

If you’re one of the millions of Americans getting in on an office pool of tickets the New York State gaming commission’s lottery division has some tips to protect everyone, whether you win or not.

At Colker’s Union Oil 76 station, in Beverly Hills, so many people turned up to purchase tickets on the day of the last drawing that they blocked the fuel pumps.
