Indiana Leads Nation in Powerball Jackpot Wins
Since Powerball began in 1992, the Hoosier State has been home to 39 jackpot wins—the most in the entire United States. It’s fun to sit and dream about what life would be like if you won a multi-million dollar lottery jackpot.

Upon returning to the United States, I’d likely buy a nice house on a large piece of land and might even start a small barbecue joint. I’d probably continue my radio career in some capacity as well. That said, I’m no lottery winner, but that could always change for me—or you—if you live in the state of Indiana.
