Powerball Jackpot grows

The Powerball jackpot has officially crossed the half-a-billion dollar mark.  There was no grand prize winner in last night’s drawing, driving the jackpot up to at least 515-million dollars.  The cash option on that works out to nearly 243-million, with the next chance to strike it rich coming on Saturday.  While it has been said that you can’t win if you don’t play, the odds of walking away with all that money are about one in 292 million.
