Powerball Fever

The payoff is up to $425 million for tonight's Powerball drawing. For folks thinking of buying a ticket at the same Publix where Gloria Mackenzie bought the ticket that won the $590 million jackpot, here are 11 things more likely to happen than winning Powerball. But, if you still need to get a ticket here are nearby locations selling tickets on the Florida Lottery website.

Grab an Umbrella!

We have a 50 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms today. Looks like we're also looking at a high of 91 with heat index values as high as 100. Be sure to have an umbrella handy - you never know when Mother Nature will send rain our way!
