If the Powerball Jackpot continues its present climb for a few more drawings we could be looking at government money. By government money I mean the kind of figures you hear congressmen and presidents talk about like they are nickels and dimes to you and I.

There was no big winner in Saturday's Powerball Jackpot drawing. That means when the ping pong balls come bounding out of the machine next Wednesday night one lucky winner could have $450 Million new reasons to change his or her phone number.

Remember the Powerball is not just about hitting the big money. Although that is what most of us think about. There are actually 9 ways you can win.  You can still win great prizes like matching 5 winners with the Powerplay or you could be like one lucky Louisiana resident and pick up a million dollars in the match 5 without the Powerplay. Check your tickets to see if that was you that has a million bucks coming your direction.
