What would you do with half-a-billion dollars?  Wednesday night's Powerball jackpot was the second largest in lottery history.
 
The last powerball winner was drawn on October 6th and the jackpot has grown to  550 million dollars since then . 

The manager of the Mirabito on Old Vestal Road says the hugh jackpot  created  5  times the amount of average online game sales, and there were plenty of hopeful ticket-buyers in his store Wednesday as the 9PM deadline for sales approached.
