When Is The Next Powerball Drawing?

Brian Russel — Thu, 16 May 2013 19:35:54 +0000

The latest Powerball Jackpot is $475 million and counting. I don’t really play the lottery or Powerball, at least not on a regular basis. I’m not the guy at the gas station holding up the line while someone is trying to give the clerk $40 to get gas. But when it gets to be as high as it is [...]

Half-Billionaire In Buffalo? Ya Never Know! [UPDATED]

And it keeps growing! As of 3pm today, the Powerball jackpot is up to $550 million. It might even get to $600 million!

Around the office we were plotting all the things we'd do with it, like buy an island, oput away $1 million a year to live off of for the next 40 years, planes, houses. So much fun. We even thought about who we'd tell to stick it if we won.

Congrats to Charlene Cousineau of Buffalo who won the Joy V.I.P. Powerball tickets.

Good luck to all. If you happen to win, feel free to through some cash at your favorite radio station ;)

With the Powerball jackpot growing exponentially ($425 million at press time), we can all start to dream a bit. "What would you do if you won the lottery?" seems to be such a cliche question. So this morning I asked:

Are you in? In for a chance at $425 Million, courtesy tomorrow night’s Powerball drawing? Almost no one is going to have to worry about it. But what if you won? First, the obvious: you’re not going to get $425 Million! Unlike our friends in Canada [all lottery winnings are tax-free], Federal and State tax [...]

No Peeking! But LOTS Of Winning!

Laura Daniels — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 08:48:14 +0000

I’ve been with the station now for almost 4 full weeks. And they may have been my last! Channeling my inner 6-year-old-on-Christmas-eve, I snuck into the forbidden area here at the station — the prize closet. I poked around, shook boxes, even smelled one (note to self: never do that again). I stuffed my pockets [...]

What Would JOY Listeners Do With the Powerball Jackpot

Rob Banks — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 12:59:55 +0000

You always get some serion, real and funny answers when you ask people what the dream up if they had all the money in the world. The Powerball Jackpot last night only had one winning ticket, in Iowa that was worth 202 million buckeroos. That is some serious dough. This is what JOY listeners had to say....
