In the Quad Cities, the estimated $900-million Powerball jackpot could buy more than you could ever need. With the $558-million cash value, you could buy a nearly $870,000 house with out even making a dent in your winnings. The 5,500 square foot Bettendorf home has five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, ten foot ceilings, and custom features. For a $900-million jackpot, you could afford more than one McLaren MP4-12C . Abe Eystad from Lujack’s Luxury Motors said, “Doesn’t everyone want to be James Bond, right? Doesn’t everyone want to be that? It gives you that exclusivity, you want something different than everyone else has got. That’s why you buy a luxury car.” If you win the Powerball jackpot you could easily buy every car on the Lujack’s Luxury Motors lot. If you’re looking to add some sparkle to your millions, there probably won’t be any jewelry out of your reach in the Quad Cities either. Necker’s Jewerly Sales Manager, Randy Ruggeberg said, “Jewelry signifies a special occasion in somebody’s life, and that why it’s important.” Here in the quad cities, some people buying lottery tickets weren’t as focused on possessions, rather some time off and giving back. If you haven’t bought a ticket yet you have until 8:59 Saturday to pick one up.
