Jay Gray reports on the Powerball jackpot hitting a historic 500-million dollars.
The rush for the numbers is on right now, and millions are looking to beat the odds and the deadline for tomorrow's Powerball drawing.
Lottery officials say a billion tickets or more will be sold before the numbers are revealed Wednesday night.
It's the biggest money in Powerball history: a jackpot of 500-million dollars and growing.
You'd have to beat 175-million-to-1 odds to win.
For comparison, you have a better chance at becoming an astronaut, being elected president, winning an academy award, or being struck by lightning multiple times.
