5 Things to Do If You Win Powerball

A huge jackpot is still up for grabs tonight.

No one matched the winning numbers in the Saturday's Powerball drawing, according to the South Carolina Education Lottery.

The Powerball jackpot has now climbed to $425 million. The cash payout value would be $244.7 million, according to www.powerball.com.

But before you start writing checks for personal submarines or jet packs , let's talk about the things you SHOULD DO with the money:

1. Pay off debt.
2. Get help with managing the money by hiring a financial planner.
3. Set a budget for yourself and live within it. You don't want to blow through your winnings, just because your spending is out of control. 
4. Give back. You can't take it with you when your gone, so think about charities, organizations and foundations that could benefit from a contribution.
5. And last but not least, don't tell anyone. If you do, you may start hearing from friends and family members you've never heard of.

For a chance at Wednesday night’s $400 million jackpot, South Carolinians must purchase Powerball tickets by 9:59 p.m. Wednesday for the 10:59 p.m. drawing.
