Powerball Jackpot At $340 Million

After 20 straight drawings with no winner the Powerball Jackpot soars up to 340 million dollars! Today's prize, if there is a winner, will be the second largest jackpot won in Powerball's history. About 3 years C&L Super Serve in Hurricane W. Virginia sold the winning ticket with the jackpot at 314 million, so ticket purchasers have been traveling there this week in hope that they could win big too. For your guy's information, markets that sell the winning ticket get huge publicity along with the winner. People travel for hours even days after to buy tickets for them. Market owners in turn are happy because they will get increased publicity and sales in tickets and products. It's a win-win situation. One guy drove from Long island to Greenwich, Conn., and bought 120 dollars worth of tickets. This is what he said he would do if he won:
"“Not work," he said, then changed it to work less. "It would be nice to be debt-free. I'd spend a lot more time with my kids and do the things I like to do - golf."”

I've been buying tickets? Usually like 2 or 3 a week. Everyone makes fun, but what's 2 or 3 dollars? On average I probably lose that money in the laundry or in my car - I might as well spend it on powerball tickets.

If I win, I think I would donate (because you pretty much have to) to Katrina, then buy a home and put a huge wave pool in my backyard - a pool capable of generating like 15 ft. waves.

You should make your Sims town, Veronaville, and make all our houses. Then create a gaming network so "all of us" can kick it.
