Wed, Nov. 28 -- Tonight, at 10:59 ET, is the drawing of the Powerball winner.

This mega lottery contest covers 42 states (FL included), Wash. DC and the US Virgin Islands.

Odds of winning the $550 million jackpot tonight are 1 in 175 million. You are more likely of becoming an astronaut (1 in 12.1 million), or being killed by falling airplane parts (1 in 10 million).

So why do people buy Big $ lottery tickets? In hope of the “dream come true.” As they say in baseball, you can’t get a hit unless you swing the bat. Accordingly, you can’t win the lottery if you don’t buy a ticket. Meanwhile, Forest Gump would probably say, “Stupid is as stupid does.”
