Powerball numbers drawn for $500M jackpot

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 they’re already thinking of ways they’d use the money.

“Well, my clients might not like to hear this, but I’d retire,” said Winter Laite.

Daryl Romero said he’d “get my family set. Buy a house for my family, a car.”

1. Had one number myself.

No Powerball, dang it.

4. I only had 1 number as well and I had 6 tickets

Oh well. I play about 2 or 3 times a year. Maybe next time we will both be big winners.

3. $18.00, and not SHIT !!

I knew I should've just bought more beer.

5. I bought one ticket. It only takes one to lose.

Haven't checked it yet. No hurry.

6. I got 1 number

Glad I didn't go on a spending spree today.

9. Ha! Me, too!

ETA: I just realized I won $4, I didn't know how the game worked. I doubled my investment today. Take that stock market.

11. Hit exactly the same

[BumRushDaShow]

16. I actually got 3 numbers

on 1 of the tickets. If the number that was the powerball on that ticket had been with the rest of the numbers, I would have had 4 numbers on there. Regardless, I am happy for the $7!

A big goose egg

12. Wow! I always hope it's someone who really needs it and not a gazillionaire.

[herding cats]

15. Three tickets now.

North Carolina, Texas and Puerto Rico.

22. Thx!

13. When I see that, I just think how much better if 500 families won 1 million each...

that would be a house, a car, a whole generation of college educations, for 500 familes. What does anyone need 500 million for?

But I know that's not how the game goes...

14. Better yet, pay off the mortgages for 1000 people.

And get them at least one car (depending on where they are).

Might be able to get up to 2000 people. Every 4 months? 6000 people a year.

[JI7]

17. don't they get a million if they get like 4 numbers or something ?

[mnhtnbb]

18. Three winning tickets sold--and one of them was in NC

I KNEW I should have bought some tickets!

Rats.

[warrant46]

19. I used to watch homeless people at the Grand Ave Mall in Milwaukee

Buying these tickets with nickels and pennies,.

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.

20. Milwaukee...My Hometown

Saw the same thing at the Grand Ave Mall......

21. The lottery should shove those numbers up their ugly asses

Stupid ping-pong balls
