Powerball Jackpot Hits $400M: Buy Tickets in Emmaus

All right Emmaus lottery fans, it's time to sharpen your pencils and get your office pools ready with your favorite numbers. Or, let the lottery's green machine pick your Powerball numbers for you. Whatever your method or system, you've got to be in it to win it, as the old saying goes.

Nobody hit last Wednesday's or last Saturday's Powerball jackpot. That puts this Wednesday's jackpot at a cool $400 million, with an estimated cash payout of $230.3 million. It's time to take a shot, in spite of the long odds. 

And, we have a lucky Pennsylvania Lottery outlet right here in our area. The Hess Express in Orefield on Route 309 has sold several Powerball jackpot tickets this year alone.
