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!
