How Would Milford Spend The $1.5 Billion Powerball Jackpot?
The drawing for the largest Powerball ever happens today, January 13. Find out how our readers said they would spend their winnings.
While the odds of winning the largest Powerball jackpot ever are beyond slim to none, Patch still encourages our readers to dream.
Several $1 million prizes have been claimed so far, but the $1.5 billion grand prize continues to grow accruing $2 million more since Monday.
According to the official Powerball website, players must match all five white balls (in no order) and the red Powerball in order to claim it all. The winning numbers will be pulled Wednesday, January 13 at 10:59 p.m. If you’re thinking of playing, tickets sales cut off 59 minutes before the drawing.
We asked our readers on Facebook how they would give back to Milford if they struck gold. Here’s what your neighbors said:
- “I’d have a huge party! Hire all the police, fire dept., EMTs and get Sammy Hagger to play. It would be the most Epic Party Ever!”
- “Give to charities that actually help and to the animal shelters. Animals are defenseless.”
- “New dog park and big donation to Lauralton!”
