Source: KRQU
ALBUQUERQUE Powerball fever is in full force in New Mexico as the jackpot has climbed to $500 million. The winning numbers were 11,13,25,39,54 and the Powerball was 19.
If someone wins, a cash option before taxes would be almost $338 million. The odds of winning a jackpot are one in 175 million, but people KRQE News 13 spoke with say theyre already thinking of ways theyd use the money.

This crap was brought about by our rulers who attempt to keep the sheep sedated with BREAD AND CIRCUSES.
Amazing how much bandwidth is present on the tube this AM on this greed to distract the public from the issues of poverty and war.
