Where to Buy Tickets for $500 Million Powerball Jackpot?

Half of a billion dollars - $500,000,000 - is the estimated Powerball jackpot.

That is a lot of zeros and a lot of money. Now, the fun part: what would you do if you won all that money?

Here's what I would do - after paying off my student loans, mortgage and credit card bill - build a four-season room, run for president as the none-of-the-above candidate, hike the Appalachian Trail with my family, go to Antarctica to see how cold it is, go to the Super Bowl, go to the World Cup, go to the Olympics and, because I'm a sucker, loosen the purse strings when my school calls asking for money or those cute little bell ringers stop me walking into the grocery store.

I'm sure other things will pop up, too.

Fair warning, though, keep your dreams in check because the cash payout is only $327 million.

So, how does your new life begin? First step is to go get a ticket.

In Cedar Falls, you can pick one up at these locations, according to the Iowa Lottery website.
