    Return of the Son of the Holy $hit Powerball lottery jackpot

    $550,000,000 and growing. May hit 3/4 billion by $aturday Night'$ drawing.
    Of course should I win, among the usual houses and cars and dream vacations and take care of all my friends and family etc. crap...
    I promise to make that Genesis reunion happen once and for all!
    That's IF I survive the heart attack.

    The Mega Millions jackpot is $190,000,000. Meh.

    Good Luck Everyone!

    Were I to win that jackpot, I promise that I would do some kind of concert/festival-type of thing with benefits for all PE members.

    My coworkers and I have bought tickets, so we're sure to win. Lots of new boutique basses for a start.

    $600,000,000 now.
    If I win, I resurrect Nearfest; opening weekend headliners will be a reunited Genesis and a reunited Gentle Giant.

    I'll make them offers they can't refuse.

    nobody won last night, growing again to a level where I just might have to buy a ticket.

    (Actually, almost no one is buying regular lottery because of Powerball. I could be very happy winning the small one too.)

    NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – Three lucky souls will be splitting the Powerball jackpot, which hit an estimated $448.4 million Wednesday.

    The winning numbers drawn Wednesday evening were 5, 25, 30, 58, 59, and Powerball 32. Lottery officials then told CBS 2 early Thursday morning that three winning tickets matched all six numbers, and that two of the tickets were sold in New Jersey. The other was sold in Minnesota.
