Shreveport can boast that one of our own was able to cash in to the tune of $50,000!

So, we didn't win the Mega Millions or the Powerball last weekend, and it's probably because we didn't play those numbers from inside our fortune cookies. Someone studied this, and figured out just how lucky those little numbers actually are. Better than Quick Picks!

Don't worry y'all. The Powerball still has a tasty jackpot of $570 million according to USA Today, and the drawing is Saturday night.

Now is the time to pool the money at the office if you're going for the huge Powerball jackpot tonight.  It's a quarter of a billion dollars, which might mean you don't have to go into debt buying chocolate and jewelry for Valentine's Day.

Everyone has a strategy.  But what's the right one?
Here's some advice for picking the winning Powerball numbers.

The Powerball Jackpot has reached historic heights.  As of Friday morning, a record $700 million will be up for grabs with Saturday night's drawing, and that number is expected to rise.

Trevathan Adams of Lufkin claimed a $7.5 million top prize in the Texas Lottery scratch-off, Millionaires Club. For selling the winning ticket, the H-E-B Food Store #617 in Lufkin,Texas is eligible for a retailer bonus of $10,000.

Talk about spreading the wealth.
