Remarkably the man behind the wheel survived the rough ride. He is thanking his lucky stars today, saturday, january 9th, 2016. Announcer from nbc news, this is today live from studio 1a in Rockefeller Plaza. Welcome to today. Im erica hill. Sheinelle jones and dylan dreyer. To me, there are two people in the world. People who buy a single Powerball Ticket and people who buy 20 like me. Do you buy one . I buy a couple. Cover 20 bases. I did ten. I didnt do it. Maybe i should. You have time. You have time today. Not happening. Not happening. By the way, not sharing. Do you know me . The powerball machine live here in studio. Do you love this thing . Around. It is louder than i thought it would be. Thought wait. That takes us to the top story. History. It has everyone talking about what they would do if they were 800 million richer. Here in new york in line. Reporter good morning, erica. We have seen a steady stream of customers trickling in buying their tickets. You know, in some places, they sold so many, they actually run out of the paper they print them on. Im with jeff. Im embarrassed to tell you how many i bought over the last 24 hours covering the story. With the chance to wake up tomorrow 800 million richer, it is hard not to get caught up in the dream. With word the jackpot grown to a whopping 800 million, so did the shopping list. A boat on the river. A beautiful six bedroom home in georgia. Reporter look at the lines from nevada and california and crossing the border in canada. I have people who are messaging me to go across the border. Reporter powerball fever in full swing. Anymore, for sure. Reporter for many. It is hard to grasp how much 800 million. If you laid one dollar bills in a straight line, it would circle the earth more than eight times. You will probably only get about 496 million in a lump sum. Still enough to pay for six private islands or more than 100 lamborghinis. Feeling more philanthropy . You could feed more than 100 million families for a year. You still could not afford an nfl team. The powerball people are keeping it secure. The drawing is held in florida tonight and all of the equipment is for now in a double locked armed and sealed vault which takes a minimum of three people to get inside. 1 in 292, 201, 338. So youre telling me theres a chance . Yeah reporter but 1 in 292 million. One person has to win. Why cant it be me . Reporter a sentiment now shared by millions. Heres the winner. Reporter all right. Depending on how sales go today, that number could go up. Heres the good news. Lottery Officials Say with all of the people playing, about 65 of the possible number combinations will be covered. There is a better than not chance that somebody will win. If nobody wins tonight, guys, it will go up over 1 billion. Thats just tough to wrap your head around. Kristen, good luck. Remember your friends. Remember, sam arlend, he is the face of the guy. He will draw the numbers tonight on live tv. Sam, good morning to you. Good morning. You are joining us from this from a non descript building under tight security in florida . This is a big day. Im so excited to be here and have the opportunity to host the draw tonight. I know everyone will be hoping and watching and hopefully i get to make someones night tonight. Are you able to buy a ticket yourself . Are you allowed to play . No, no, i cant play. Sam, what do you think the chances this could go up to 1 billion . I dont know. It just depends on how many people are playing and who gets that winning combination. Its impossible to predict. You know, if no one wins tonight, it certainly will be astronomical come wednesday night. We watch this. We are excited about it. As jeff mentioned you are in a non descript building. Pulling the numbers . Well, you know, usually not too many people there when the jackpot happens. Tonight, we will have a lot of people in the studio so the pressure goes up. I get a little more nervous. Generally, its a few of us. The crew, me, the Security Team and occasionally we have people come in and view from the viewing room. Its business as usual. All right, sam, feels like a black tie affair tonight. We will look for the tux. I will see you in the offices down there when i come to claim my ticket. Thank you. Turning to the latest in the capture of the notorious drug lord el chapo. We got a look at him when he was taken back to the same prison from which he escaped. We have nbcs Gabe Gutierrez gabe, good morning. Reporter erica, good morning. This caps off the embarrassing escape which was straight from a movie. Now a different movie was is instrumental in the capture. The most wanted drug lord in the world was paraded in front of cameras in handcuffs. Joaquin guzman captured in a dramatic Early Morning raid. Mexicos attorney general saying the drug boss was tracked down because he was trying to make a biopic and people were communicating were actors and producers. Authorities gotten a tip that guzman and others were hiding in the town of los mochis. In the town of sinaloa. Five other suspects were killed. Shootout. Mexicos president Enrique Pena Nieto called it a victory for the rule of law. El chapos daring escape in july from a maximum security prison was a huge embarrassment for the mexican government. He disappeared through a sophisticated tunnel complete with electricity and motorcycle. To get any credibility, nieto had to capture el chapo. Reporter will he remain in mexico or be extradited in the u. S. . Mexican Legal Process tends to be kind of slow. It is a good likelihood he will be extradited. Reporter after flown by navy helicopter, el chapo is waking up in the same prison he escaped from. Authorities say the raid also right hand man also on the run. Investigators seized an arsenal, rocket launchers and armored vehicles. Erica. Gabe, thank you. Police in the nations biggest cities this morning on heightened alert following the ambush of the officer in philadelphia. The suspect now in custody telling police he was defending islam when he attacked the officer. Nbcs Steve Paterson in philly for husband us. Reporter good morning, jeff. We are learning more about the man accused of shooting the Police Officer. He said he did it in the name of islam. People who know him better here are painting a different picture. It is chilling video. Surveillance capturing a moment the gunman opened fire on the Philadelphia Police officer in blank range shooting at least 11 times. Im shot. Reporter 33yearold Police Officer Jesse Hartnett was hit three times in the arm. As the gunman ran away, he kept shooting. The officer managed to follow and returned fire. I do have a male in custody. Reporter police captured the suspect, 30yearold edward archer. He confessed saying it was inspired by islam. Archer pledged allegiance to the islamic state. Friday night, federal investigators scoured homes linked to archer around philadelphia. Carrying boxes of evidence away. Some Area Neighbors were stunned to learn that archer is a suspect. Sometimes he would play with the kids. He might play football. Reporter archer has prior convictions on simple assault and firearms charges. Law enforcement say the fbi is looking into his phone and computer records and at trips to in 2012. Theres nothing to suggest that travel was terror related. According to his mother, archer had been hearing voices. Attorney doug dolfman represented him in 2013. He was impulsive and paranoid. Reporter officer hartnett is a fiveyear veteran of the coast guard. This is astonishing that he was able to escape it. Reporter ironically the weapon used to shoot officer hartnett was registered to a Philadelphia Police officer. Stolen in 2013. Hartnett remains in the hospital. He is expected to fully recover likely after more surgery. Our thoughts with the officer and his family. Shawn henry is the former assistant of the fbi. He joins us this morning. Shawn, always good to have you give us a sense what investigators are looking at based on what steve laid out for us. We hear he was isis inspired. He said he did this in support of the islamic state. Investigators absolutely want to see if there is any riptide to isis. The fact he traveled to saudi arabia and egypt is a red flag. It is not a smoking gun. It is an area the Law Enforcement will work with the agencies in both countries to see why he was there and who he met with, et cetera. We saw the evidence taken out of the residence. They will be looking at the Electronic Devices and looking to exploit the Digital Media to see who he contacted. They want to see if there was a conspiracy or if this was just the efforts of one particular individual. Isis as we know in terms of pop propaganda is standing out. Are they particularly going the picture painted of the man suggests he may have been vulnerable. Isis is talking about targeting Police Officers and military for a long time. They are seeing Law Enforcement as instruments of the government. Spective perspective, it is important to government. They are seen as protectors of the innocent. That is the inspiration between isis and the attacks. Law enforcement has been targeted for a long time by a lot of agencies over many years. They are absolutely aware of this rhetoric. They aware of isis objectives. They will be working very strongly coming together, state, local, federal agencies to make sure they have enough intelligence to protect officers citizens. Two iraqi immigrants arrested here on terror charges this week appeared in court on friday.

Have you seen what is happening in the country . We have a president that doesnt even want to talk about whats really happening. We have to find out what the hell is going on. Reporter trump has called for a temporary ban on muslims entering america. Night rally, including one woman wearing a head scarf. They were all escorted out. We will knock the [ bleep ] out of isis. Reporter campaigning in iowa, ted cruz claiming the two men is blaming for letting them in. They came in through the vetting process. Reporter adding to concerns, the man who shot a Police Officer in philadelphia, police said, pledged allegiance to isis. We need a president who is clear and steely eyed and understands the danger we face. The simple fact is we are living in dangerous times. Reporter these republicans are all trying to make the case they are tougher on terror than democrat Hillary Clinton. Who cruz says has been lying about the attacks in benghazi, libya, that killed four americans when she was secretary of state. In my house, if my daughter, the 5yearold, says something a spanking. Well, in america, the voters have a way of administering a spanking. Reporter no response to that yet from the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Some places are running out of the paper to print the tickets in here. This is exactly what lottery officials wanted when they lowered the odds of winning powerball back in october. They added a few extra numbers. The odds from 1 in 175 million to 1 in 292 million chances to win. Really high odds. You have a better chance of being killed by an asteroid. Lottery Officials Say 65 of the lottery pick combinations will have been drawn. There is a good chance somebody wins. A lot of people say why not buy every combination of numbers . That would cost 584,000. If nobody wins tonight, think about that, it will go up over 1 billion. If we think this is a frenzy, i cannot imagine. Kristen, thanks. The odds are interesting. You have more of a chance of being in the nba. More of a chance of being president of the United States which is 1 in 10 million. I was surprised by that number. You, too, can be president of the United States. As we wait to see who the next millionaire is, it may be you, hard to forget those who won big already. We heard that story over and over again.

Reporter but for some who hit it big, winning can be a nightmare. According to a study, winners are twice as likely to declare bankruptcy. William post won 16 million, but wound up losing it all. Willie seely says winning 450 million is the worst thing to ever happen to him. How do you avoid the pitfalls . Some say by staying grounded and sharing.

Dont go crazy with it. I dont care how much you win, you could burn through it all. Reporter its true. If you think this frenzy is good, if nobody wins tonight, billion. Good luck.

There is something you can specifically do to increase your odds, but have the Computer Pick your number. A lot of us choose lucky numbers. Birthdays and anniversaries. Powerball goes up to 69.

And dave carter agrees. I have been to every big award show you can imagine. Theres no award show that is more fun than the Golden Globes. Why . Everyone you look at is a huge star. Its the stars from movies and tv and they are all mingling with each other during commercial breaks. It just blows your mind to see the wattage of the alisters in the room. And then theres alcohol.

Extraordinarily painful, i hear you. Doctor hears you too i hear you because i was there when my dad suffered with diabetic nerve pain. Burning, shooting pain dont suffer in silence step on up and ask your doctor about diabetic nerve pain. Tell em cedric sent you. Back now on a saturday morning. Erica got the chance to hang out with Leonardo Dicaprio. This is getting a lot of buzz for awards season. It is an incredible film. I sat down with Leonardo Dicaprio and the director of getting the task of the story to the screen. The safe thing to do is track a new course. Much has been made of the revenant of the lawless american wilderness of the 1820s. The film took a year to complete in bitter conditions. This is the most unique experience i had in my life. It was going on a mecca. It was some insane camping trip for almost a year of our lives. And he took something from me. Leonardo dicaprio brings the frontiersman seeking revenge to life in heart wrenching detail. How much of what were seeing on the screen is you as an actor and how much of it is your physical reaction to the elements and stress . Reaction. You do everything you can to prepare, but then you click into something else. That meant just as much as i could and for getting everything i learned and giving yourself over and reacting to an authentic world. That is what he wanted to do. He wanted to be on location for a reason and make everything for us as actors as real as it possibly could be so we would get into ourselves and try to survive every single day. Proper thing to do is finish him off quick. It was as real as 40 degrees below zero at one point. Temperatures so cold the camera equipment wouldnt work. The production always at the mercy of mother nature. Was there ever a moment where either one of you said what have we gotten ourselves into . For sure. Every day. I guess there was no turning back. Was there a moment when you every single day was a challenge to adapt to the circumstances nature gave us. It gave a stunning back drop for the stunning journey. Im sure the audience will experience sight and sounds something they have not experienced something in a long time thanks to the kind of achievements that we brought forward. These are incredibly important. These achievements. If anything, studios will continue to take chances on things that are artistic films on an epic scale because were seeing so much less of them now a days. You really choose the films you work on based on the director. A few years ago, you did an interview and you wanted to work with alejandro. Would you ever consider going behind the camera . It is something i would to compartmentalize your mind the way im not used to. Leonardo dicaprio, he thinks as a filmmaker. Im glad you asked him. I would love to see a film of leo. I know he will do something very special. When . Ringing endorsement. The admiration of actor and director is impossible to miss. A combination that is clearly working. The revenant is up for four Golden Globes and plenty of oscar buzz. Of course, awards are wonderful in our categories, but to me, it is about letting the audience understand we made Something Special here. It is a remarkable movie. It is not exactly what i thought it would be. It is just about how he survives survived and how it is tied into it. Living in the 1820s in the wilderness would be miserable. Did i hear he did not wear the warmers . He was fully in it. He was in and out of the cold water wearing what hugh glass would have worn. He is freezing cold. He ate a raw bison liver. This is how he works. If he is in it, he is there to play. This is a labor of love for both of them. They did not realize how much. The bottom line is Leonardo Dicaprio can rock that look and also a sweater vest. Youre talented. What else is there . By the way, speaking of the Golden Globes. What will happen when Ricky Gervais goes at the stars . Will he skewer them . How bad will it be . We are back now on a saturday morning. You got a look at the tree before it goes away. The eve of the Golden Globes. The big question is who is at the receiving end of Ricky Gervais jokes . He said no one is safe and they wont be tomorrow night. Nbcs joe fryer has more. Ricky gervais. Reporter no one can say Ricky Gervais is unan apologetic. The Golden Globes host proclaimed he is sorry for anything he says sunday night. Telling matt lauer he cannot be bothered to apologize after. There is nothing you can say that someone somewhere wont find offensive. Reporter gervais first served as ring master in 2010. Looking at the faces here reminds me of the great work that has been done this year by reporter despite the jabs, the comedian was invited back strolling on stage with drink in happened, he targeted hollywoods biggest stars. Welcome Ashton Kutchers dad, bruce willis. Reporter critics felt gervais crossed the line when he introduced Robert Downey jr. You know him from the betty ford clinic and Los Angeles County jail. Aside from the fact that has been hugely mean spirited with sinister under tones, i say he has survived the show so far. Back. I dont do anything i cant justify. And no one is safe. I see him punch a little blind kitten. Welcome the evil colin firth. They are fine with it. Reporter case in point, this joke. It seems everything was three dimensional. Reporter that films star was in the audience. He and the host did shake hands the next year before a comic jab. Have you seen the tourist yet . Reporter gervais will not say who he plans to skewer yet. For today joe fryer, nbc news, los angeles. He said i want a laugh out of the stars and laugh at home. He said if i get a gasp, thats fine too. If i was an actress or actor, i would not make contact. As viewers with no connection to the celebrity world, it is hilarious to watch.
