Moug & Angie Mornings Has Your Powerball Tickets!
The Powerball jackpot has reached $730 million. Here s my attempt and putting that ridiculous number into perspective: For $730 million you can buy seven Playboy Mansions and a 1954 Mercedes Benz W196R Formula 1 single-seater racing car. For $730 million you can wake up every day to Mariah Carey singing for two years. For $730 million you can buy all ten of the most expensive private islands in the world.
Actually that s still too rich people of a perspective. More practically, for $730 million you can send every student at Meridian High School and Eagle High School to Harvard for four years. For $730 million you can buy every homeless person in Idaho a Meridian home. For $730 million you can send every single nurse in Idaho for the most expensive dinner offered at Barbacoa once a week for a year (and they d deserve it.)
