For the last two months, no one has been lucky to win the Powerball lottery. So Wednesday's estimated jackpot is $500 million, and likely to go even higher as a buying frenzy has begun.

The Powerball lottery is played in 42 states, including Massachusetts and all six New England states. According to Powerball, the odds of winning the jackpot is 1 in 175 million. The odds of getting all 5 numbers and not the Powerball, earning $1 million, is 1 in 5 million. Tell us what you would do with the money if you won in the comments below.

Following up on Tuesday's announcement of the $334.6 million Powerball Jackpot winner, WPRI released a financial report from the Rhode Island Lottery that showed Tiverton ranks first in the state for lottery sales per capita. The data, from 2010, records sales before neighboring Massachusetts began offering Powerball. When the latest Powerball Jackpot hit $250 million in early February, local convenience store owners admitted that fewer people are crossing state lines to play in Tiverton.
