5 Things The Ark-La-Tex Would Do If They Won The Powerball

The white Powerball numbers were 17-19-39-43-68. The Red Powerball Number was 13. A total of 10 tickets matched all 5 white numbers and won $1 million. But no one had the lucky number 13, so there was no winner of Saturday's Powerball jackpot of $541 million.

The new jackpot for the next drawing on Wednesday will be worth $650 million with a cash option of $411.7 million. That's the 3rd largest jackpot in U.S. history, if anyone's counting. And who isn't?

Recently we did a Facebook poll asking listeners what they would do if they won the Powerball. Here are the Top 5 responses:

We had to include this on the list, because it's just too silly. Can you tell that a lot of guys answered our poll?
