More Jersey Things to Buy with $800M Powerball Jackpot
The Powerball jackpot is already at $800M for tomorrow night's drawing, and will surely increase again, making it by far the largest jackpot in U.S. history (and close to the largest lottery jackpot EVER.)
Earlier in the week, we told you some awesomely Jersey ways to spend the money when it was a piddly $400M...here are some additional goodies you can pick up with your newfound cash.
Again, we'll figure you go with the cash option of $496 million, leaving you with approximately, and conservatively, $297.6 million AFTER taxes. (Holy ish.)
So what will all that cash buy you?
- 1
Season tickets for every seat at Lakewood Blueclaws home games for the next 71 years
...or just build yourself approximately 11 new Blueclaws stadiums.
- 2
Gold season passes for Great Adventure and Hurricane Harbor for everyone in Monmouth County for 4 years.
That's the Combo Gold Pass, baby!
- 3
4 years all-expenses-paid at Monmouth University for 1335 people.
That would include tuition, room and board, books, personal expenses...EVERYTHING. Bump it up to 2181 people if you only count tuition. (Which still seems like a frighteningly and depressingly small number in relation to all the other stuff you can get with all this money!)

$33 for every person in New Jersey
If you really wanted to spread the wealth, well...it wouldn't go very far. You could give every person in our lovely state $33...and still have just under $3 million left for yourself.
