Welcome to

If you haven’t bought your Powerball ticket yet…what are you waiting for?! The jackpot is at an all time high, expected to be more than $800 million dollars. As Matt Galka tells us, the historic drawing will be held in Florida’s capital city and he takes us inside.

The machines are under lock and key at the Florida lottery headquarters in Tallahassee, but come Saturday night they will be rattling, and millions of people around the country hoping their numbers come up during the historic Powerball jackpot drawing.

Florida lottery secretary Tom Delescenserie says lotto fever adds up to a win for the state education system.

“Just since this roll in November, we have transferred 40 million dollars to education, just on this Powerball jackpot,” he said.

And let’s say you do win. What’s next? Certified Public accountant Steve Cutright says money management is key.

“You’ll have every Uncle Joe twice removed coming out of the woodwork and thinking you’re a bank, so you have to surround yourself with a good team,” he said.

Players have until 10 pm eastern Saturday night t buy their tickets. They cost $2 bucks a play.

If there is no jackpot winner after Saturday night the grand prize will roll over again, meaning the next jackpot is expected be more than one billion dollars…there’s even an outside shot it gets to that point before Saturday night’s drawing.
