Tonight’s Powerball jackpot is up to an estimated $747 Million dollars. The cash value is $403.1 million. We asked the Michigan Lottery’s Jake Harris if most people pick their own numbers.

“For most people, they choose an easy pick, simply because it’s just that. It’s easy. You go in, you say ‘I’d like an easy pick for tonight’s Powerball drawing,’ and the retailer takes care of the rest. But we do hear from folks who have certain numbers that they feel are lucky numbers, or maybe just numbers that are special to them.”

Harris says most people buy their tickets at retailers, even though they are available online. Your chances of getting the Powerball jackpot? About one in 300 million.
