FYI: Washington State does not have a state tax on lottery winnings, but the Feds will yoink their 24% to 37% cut first, like they're snatching off your wig on the Maury Povich Show.

If I won the Powerball, I would not want anyone to know because then everybody and their grandmama would be trying to ask me for money!

AHT! AHT! Don't try me!

I would also create a trust fund and live a low-profile life.

I would be leery of finding an attorney that I can trust to help me. I wouldn't want one who is going to try to shake me down in order to get their hands on a cut of my winnings!

The cool part about playing the Powerball is that you don’t have to match the numbers in the order they are drawn.

Powerball is a game sponsored by the Multi-State Lottery Association where you choose five (5) numbers and then one (1) Powerball number. Get all of those and you’ll win the huge jackpot.

Powerball drawings happen three times a week, once on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

Here on the West Coast, the Powerball drawings happen at 7:59 p.m.

DID YOU KNOW: You can watch the lottery drawing live on the Powerball YouTube channel.

You don’t have to be a U.S. citizen to play Powerball, you just have to buy your ticket in a jurisdiction in the country. You must also be old enough to gamble in that jurisdiction.

“You can match the white ball numbers in any order of a given play to win a prize.” - Powerball.com
