No winner in the latest Powerball Jackpot. Drawing Wednesday estimated to top $1.3 billion (B). There were 3, one million dollar winners, all in Texas. The total jackpot for last nights drawing was nearly $900 million. After Uncle Sam’s share, the take home total would have been in the range of $550 million or about 62% of the total.
As my mom would say…my,my, my. That would come after her preaching about the sins of gambling. Oh well, for those with a ticket, maybe next time.
It is time for football playoffs, NFL and college. Two NFL games played yesterday and two on the schedule for today.
Today, Seattle Seahawks vs Minnesota Vikings and Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers.
And tomorrow night, #1 Clemson plays #2 Alabama for the NCAA championship.
There is more, the 2016 golf season is underway with this weeks match in Hawaii. Nice way to begin a new year, and for NASCAR fans, the Daytona race is just weeks away.
The NHL season is underway. Take your pick.
Been thinking about last nights lottery drawing….How many prayers were lifted up? With chances of winning at about 300 million to one….The chances of winning are about the same with or without a ticket, with the exception of one, two, maybe three ticket-holders.
