Where to Buy Tickets for $400 Million Powerball Jackpot

Almost half of a billion dollars - $400,000,000 - is the estimated Powerball jackpot for Wednesday. The cash payout is $230.3 million.

Here's what I would do: I'd either fix all the little things we need to do around the house that my hubby never gets to, or buy a house on a larger lot to accommodate his sculpture work. I'd take a long vacation in Hawaii. I'd share the good fortune with my parents and brother - pay-off loans, mortgages, whatever they need.

And I'd give to some great charities: the Animal Rescue League, the Never Say Can't Foundation, Katie's Crusaders, and the Alzheimer's Association.

While hefty, the prize for Wednesday's drawing is still well below the record $590.5 million jackpot won in May by an 84-year-old Florida woman, says KCCI.com.

The winning numbers Saturday were 21, 24, 36, 42 and 45; the Powerball was 15.

The odds of matching all six numbers are 1 in 175.2 million.

So, how does your new life begin? First step is to go get a ticket.
