Saturday’s chance to make big money playing Powerball is here.

The grand prize is currently at $70 million, with a cash value of $45.1 million. Last Wednesday’s winning numbers were 8, 13, 29, 38, 52 and 28. There were 326,404 regular winners and $5,035,139 in non-jackpot money was won.

There are actually nine ways to play Powerball. Though the odds will likely change in October, currently there is a 1 in 175,223,510.00 chance in winning the grand prize and a 1 in 5,153,632.65 chance in winning $1,000,000.

So the odds of winning are slim, but people do win. The main thing a Powerball player has to do, outside of checking the numbers, is hold on to the ticket.

People that love a good rags to riches story were thrilled to learn that Marie Holmes, a 26-year-old single mother of four, won the $188 million Powerball prize last February.The young woman from North Carolina accepted her winnings in one lump sum, which left her with the still sizable award of $127 million. Well, after taxes, around $88 million.

The main thing was that now life should have been much easier for her. But, as it turns out, a lot of that Powerball money has been going to pay off bonds for her and her boyfriend.

As reported in the New York Daily News, Holmes originally expressed how all the money would be going to her children, one of whom has cerebral palsy. “All the struggle I ever went through, it’s all for them. Money doesn’t change it, but money’s going to help me,” she said.

But a little after she won, Holmes posted $3 million bond for her boyfriend Lamarr McDow, who was in jail facing heroin trafficking charges. Then, last month when the cops came to her home to arrest McDow for parole violations, the officers found that McDow had a .45 caliber pistol along with drug paraphernalia.

Holmes and McDow were both arrested. After getting herself out of jail, Holmes spent an additional $6 million to get McDow free once again.

Holmes took to Facebook to defend herself from critics, saying, “What Y’all need to be worried about is Y’all money and not how I spend mine this is benefitting Y’all how? And no he’s no drug dealer or user but who are Y’all to judge anybody?”
