Well, the temperature might be getting lower, but the Powerball Jackpot numbers are getting higher and higher. Check the preview below for this Wednesday's all new total and go ahead and buy those tickets now before the roads ice over.
The weather is getting colder and colder, but the Powerball Jackpot has $71 million ways to help you stay warm. That is the number for this week's all new total, with a cash value of $38.6 mil.
If you are looking for a way to spend $70 million, then Kevin Carlson understands your pain. Carlson won that amount on Christmas Day. The official Powerball website tells his story:
“A Kansas City couple undoubtedly had their best Christmas ever after finding out they won the $71.5 million Powerball jackpot, the sixth-largest Lottery prize ever sold in Missouri. Kevin Carlson, 49, and his wife claimed the prize at the Lottery's Jefferson City headquarters on Dec. 26. Carlson also celebrated his birthday on Dec. 27, one day after discovering the win.
"Carlson, a mechanic, said he bought Missouri Lottery tickets often when he made his usual stop at Autobahn BP, 7538 N.W. Prairie View Road in Platte Woods. ‘Every morning that I work, I stop to get a coffee and a little something to eat,’ said Carlson."
On Dec. 26, he stopped by the convenience store and discovered he held the only winning ticket from the Christmas Day Powerball drawing, which was worth $71.5 million:
"‘The first time I scanned it, I didn't believe it, so I scanned it again,’ he said. ‘I kind of went nuts.’
“Carlson said he already quit his job as a mechanic, but his wife plans to continue working.
"Now that I don't work, I plan to use my time to figure out what to do with the money, he added.”
Best of luck to you, and be sure to stay warm.
