In the US, the Powerball has a record jackpot of $900,000,000 - Yes, that is NINE-HUNDRED-MILLION DOLLARS and they are predicting that it may go over a BILLION DOLLARS.
Facts: - Your chance of winning is 1 in 292,000,000
- Only 75% of possible combinations have been picked so far.
- If there is no winner tonight, Wednesday's drawing would be for $1,300,000,000 (ONE BILLION-THREE-HUNDRED-MILLION)
- If you choose the cash option (if you are the only winner tonight) the lump-sum payout would be $545,000,000
Everyone I know has gone completely insane. By all means, buy a few tickets for fun, but DON'T SPEND HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS! Because even if you had a million dollars and bought a million tickets, you odds of winning would still be very small at 1 in 292.

I've done £100 for the past 2 mega draws. Won £50 and 6 lucky dips!
Only done £42 for tonight, it's a complete waste of money. 40something/1 odds.
Though the USA lottery the odds are even higher.

Our odds are much better though in the UK
This time around they are even better than usually as the money has to be one, so if all numbers are not matched then they will loose a number until someone gets a match

Never played lottery, never probably will. Just too scared to win, I'm sure it'd ruin me within 6 months.

Apparently a lot of people are turning to the health lottery now. Since the changes to the lotto.
I don't play often, usually only when there's a large jackpot. But I may look in to the health lottery.

Yes the health lottery is still only £1 a line, which is better than lotto offers.

£33m each. Not a bad pay day.
They could band together and buy Hefners mansion! (although they would still need a large mortgage)
