Tonight’s Powerball jackpot is $1.5 billion—a number so big I have a hard time comprehending what my life would be like if I were lucky enough to win it. Fortunately I’ve figured out a foolproof way of deciding one’s lucky numbers, and I’d like to share it with you below. So grab a sheet of paper and a pen, because this is going to take a little work!
Below you’ll find an image filled with names, brands, and objects. Once you have your paper and pen ready, scroll down, and write down the first five items that mean something to you. There are no right or wrong answers, there is only your intuition.
Take a deep breath, visualize $1.5 billion dollars, and...go:
Did you write down five items from that list? Great!
Now watch this GIF and jot down the first word, abbreviation, or acronym that calls to you.
All done? I bet you feel like a star already. Speaking of Star...
