Powerball Jackpot at $750 million For Drawing March 23rd

The Powerball jackpot has risen to $750 million for the next drawing happening on Saturday, March 23, 2024. Will you be playing?

Ever since I could buy lottery tickets, I have just never seen the appeal. There was only one time I won a large amount of money on a scratch off and it was on my 18th birthday! I won $400 and never played the lottery again haha.

My coworker was telling me that nobody has won the most recent Powerball Jackpot and it went up to $750 million. That's an ungodly amount of money for one person to have, but of course it's extremely enticing to try to win.

Hypothetically, if I was to buy a $2 Powerball ticket and win the entire Jackpot I don't even know what I'd buy first. Definitely not a house, a car, or something too "extraordinary" where people would question where I got a bunch of money all of a sudden. Considering I went viral on TikTok saying I'm broke, I'd be suspicious of where all this money appeared from, too!
