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 Falmouth if they struck gold. Here’s what your neighbors said:

• “All the animal shelters and the service center would be stocked for life as for the town it self nothing we can’t even go to are own beaches without paying”
• “Expand Service center. Put one in East Falmouth as well. Get a turkey farm for those homeless birds on main street! I’d definitely give to my community in all kinds of ways”
• “Big donation to 300 Committee.”

• “Land preservation/ stop building here. Animal shelter and schools”
