Are you a ramblin’ gamblin’ man... or woman? As of yesterday, the Powerball is up to $1.5 billion with a cash value of $745.9 million — that’s almost enough to build the $1 billion North Hills Innovation District . The odds of winning the jackpot are one in 292,201,338.

Here’s what $745.9 million could buy you locally:

A dreamy $8.3 million 5 BD, 5 BA home (plus a lot more)
116,546,875 almond croissants from Layered Croissanterie
241,391,585 double Charburgers
$745.9 million worth of supplies to donate to a local charity

Drawings are three nights a week — Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays — until a jackpot winner is selected. Learn how to play and let us know how you would spend your winnings.
