Learn about the time a Montanan threw away a winning Powerball ticket

The Powerball is now over a billion dollars, which means that Montana could have a new billionaire soon. If you were to win all that money, what would buy?

First, check to see if you and I are friends on Facebook at least. Just kidding. A lottery jackpot win is a serious matter and there are some things to do and NOT do if you find out you're a winner.

The data is revealing.

Well, for starters, for 25 million you can buy your own town. Yep. A whole town, just for you. The actual price is 25,525,000...but what's half a million dollars when you are worth over a quarter of a billion, right?

Some other states have mulled this decision too.

If you have not heard yet, there were three winners in last nights billion dollar Powerball drawing! Unfortunately, none of the jackpot winners were from Montana. However, I had the correct Powerball, meaning I am the recipient of a whopping $4.00! Here is what I can do with my winnings!

Tonight is the drawing for the biggest Powerball, ever! The jackpot is currently at more than 1.2 BILLION dollars! I went out and bought a couple of tickets and it got me thinking: What would I do if I won the billion dollar jackpot? Here are the top 5 things I would do...

Gloria MacKenzie of Zephyrhills, Florida won the $590 million Powerball jackpot last month. (Zephyrhills is 30 miles northeast of Tampa.)

Well it's official... I didn't win the powerball!  I did have the first number right though!  I should get at least a dollar or something.  I would say better luck next time but I doubt it will be any better!

Are you ready to win $425 Million dollars?  Your odds are just as good as everyone else!  I'm not usually much of a gambler.  But I figure a couple of bucks for a chance at $425 Million is worth it.  What would you do with the money?
