The staff at a New Jersey restaurant thought they had won the Powerball jackpot last Saturday - the video below shows them freaking out. Unfortunately for them the bartender read the numbers from the previous drawing.

I'm always skeptical of everything on the internet so I'm not sure if this is fake but can you imagine if it is indeed real?  Think about the roller-coaster of emotions this staff went through.

Speaking of the Powerball Jackpot:

  • It's a safe bet that we'll have a winner tonight.  Experts say more than one billion tickets will be sold by tonight. Which means there's about a 97% chance that at least one of them will have the winning combination.
  • There are only five states where you can legally stay anonymous if you win - Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, North Dakota, or Ohio.  If you win in any other state there's a way to stay anonymous but it's very complicated.  The first thing you'd need to do is hire a tax attorney and ask about a blind trust.

Good luck, friends!
