DREAMS. WITH THE MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT AT 560 MILLION AND POWERBALL AT 875 MILLION, THERE’S A LOT OF HYPE OVER THE COMBINED $1.435 MILLION UP FOR GRABS THIS WEEKEND. NOW, IF NO ONE MATCHES ALL SIX NUMBERS, FRIDAY’S JACKPOT COULD BE MORE THAN $560 MILLION. WITH NO MEGA MILLIONS WINNER TUESDAY. THIS IS POWERBALL AND NO POWERBALL WINNER WEDNESDAY. ALL RIGHT. WHAT’S THE BIG ONE? PLAYING HYPE IS GROWING AS FAST AND AS BIG AS BOTH JACKPOTS. ARE YOU A POWERBALL GUY OR A MEGA? MILLIONS OR BOTH? BOTH. I BUY BOTH. DO YOU PLAY EVERY WEEK OR IS IT JUST BECAUSE THE JACKPOT IS SO BIG? I PLAY WHEN I THINK OF IT ARE PEOPLE REMIND ME COST ME $4. YOU KNOW, WE ALL KNOW THAT WE HAVE A VERY SMALL CHANCE OF WINNING. AND I THINK THE LURE OF IT’S JUST THAT WHEN YOU GET INTO THE BILLIONS, PEOPLE THINK IT’S SOMEHOW THERE’S A BETTER CHANCE, THERE’S PROBABLY A WORSE CHANCE. BUT PEOPLE GET EXCITED ABOUT IT, CHANGE THEIR LIVES, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. THE CASH OPTION WOULD BE $281 MILLION FOR MEGA MILLIONS AND NEARLY 442 MILLION FOR POWERBALL. WHAT I DID WITH THE MONEY WILL STOP BY QUITTING MY JOB AND TAKE CARE OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY. WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU DO WITH IT? I FEEL GOOD. YOU KNOW, THE OPPORTUNITY IS THERE IF YOU DON’T PLAY, THEY WON’T PAY. SO IT’S WORTHWHILE TO BUY A COUPLE TICKETS. THE MEGA MILLIONS DRAWING IS TONIGHT. THE POWERBALL DRAWING IS TOMO
