$700 Million Powerball Jackpot Reaches 2nd Highest, Ever

People across the country are channeling their inner “Dirty Harry” (kind of) and asking themselves if they feel lucky…lucky enough to beat the one-in-292 million odds to win the second largest Powerball, ever.

With those winnings, you could buy about 70 Lamborghini Veneno cars and still have money left over for gas.

According to Time Magazine, here are the 10 events more likely to happen to you before you win the Powerball:

1. Dying from an asteroid strike: 1 in 74,817,414

2. Getting killed by a terrorist act in the United States: 1 in 10,000,000

3. Getting murdered during a trip to the Grand Canyon: 1 in 8,156,000

4. Dying from chronic constipation: 1 in 2,215,900

5. Becoming a movie star: 1 in 1,505,000

6. Getting struck by lightning: 1 in 1,101,000

7. Dying from a hornet, wasp or bee sting: 1 in 79,842

8. Bowling a 300 game: 1 in 11,500

9. Being the same height actor Hugh Jackman, who is 6-foot-2: 1 in 23.3

10. Becoming disabled, disfigured or killed by a parasite: 1 in 7.2

The drawing happens tonight at 8:59 P.M.
