After much anticipation, the power ball numbers will be drawn for the second time tonight. An estimated 2.6 billion dollars has been spent purchasing the tickets. Winners can get anywhere from 7 dollars to 1 million. Some people have been on waiting lists just to purchase these tickets. Despite popular belief, the winner will not win all 1.5 billion. They will get different cut amounts of the money.
I do not see why people wouldn't buy a ticket. They are like 2 dollars and although chances are slim, there is no reason to not take the easy risk. It might be too late to purchase a power ball ticket now, but those who have them will have fun hoping to win!!!!
