Good news for people who love large lump sums of money — the mighty Powerball is rolling into NYC. The multi-state lottery is currently offered in 31 states, but will add another early next year as New York joins the Powerball pot. The Empire State already offers MegaMillions — which, with its massive March 2007 jackpot of $390 million, claims the highest-paying lotto payout in the history of human civilization — but Powerball could top that if plans to go global in 2011 come through. In the meantime, keep betting those Chinese fortune cookie numbers!
