Powerball jackpot hits $700M: How long do you have to buy tickets before the next drawing?
(NEXSTAR) — The Powerball jackpot has yet again grown after no ticket was able to match the numbers drawn Wednesday night. The jackpot now sits just outside of the top 10 largest in the game's history. The numbers drawn on Wednesday — 31, 59, 62, 65, 68, and Powerball 5 — included one 'overdue' number, but it wasn't enough to produce a winner. The drawing represented the 35th since the Powerball jackpot, then estimated at $204.5 million, was last won on May 31 by a ticket sold in California. Without a winner, the jackpot now sits at an estimated $700 million with a cash value of $316.3 million. That puts it at No. 11 on the list of largest Powerball jackpots since 2003: It's not far from cracking into the top 10, either. The current jackpot is about $31.2 million from surpassing a 2021 grand prize won in Maryland. There is a chance that the top prize will grow before the next drawing, set for 10:59 p.m. ET on Saturday. That means you still have plenty of time to buy tickets (maybe even enough to ensure you win the jackpot) and test your lucky numbers. Want to ensure a Powerball jackpot win? How many tickets you'd need to buy How close you can buy your tickets to the draw time, however, will vary based on where you live. In several states — Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, West Virginia, and Wyoming — ticket sales stop an hour before the Powerball drawing. Similarly, these states end Powerball sales at 10 p.m. ET: California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin. Four states take their draw breaks (the time in which tickets can no longer be sold for the upcoming drawing) at 9:50 p.m. ET: Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. In other states — Delaware, Washington, and the District of Columbia — the cutoff is five minutes earlier at 9:45 p.m. ET. Map: How much of the $643M Powerball jackpot would you lose to taxes? Here's a look at when other states pause ticket sales on Powerball draw nights: Arizona: 6:59 p.m. local time until daylight saving time ends, then 7:59 p.m. local time Colorado: 7:30 p.m. local time Idaho: 1 hour and five minutes before the drawing Indiana: 9:58 p.m. local time Michigan: 9:58 p.m. local time North Dakota: 8:58 p.m. local time Some states may have different cut-off times for tickets being purchased online. You'll want to check with your local lottery before buying any last-minute tickets. Powerball is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Your odds of landing the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

Silly Little Things That Often Become Epic Battles In Unhappy Marriages
When you're in a marriage that feels more like a battle zone than a partnership, even the smallest things can set off fireworks. Suddenly, the everyday turns into a minefield of frustration and irritation. You might start wondering how the person you once adored can now irritate you with something as simple as leaving a sock on the floor. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Here are 13 silly little things that somehow morph into epic battles in unhappy marriages. 1. The Toothpaste Squeeze Nothing quite sums up the trivial turning epic like the way you squeeze toothpaste. You might think it's harmless whether you squeeze from the bottom or the middle, but your spouse may see it as a reflection of your entire personality. According to a study published in the Journal of Family Psychology, small habits, when left unchecked, can symbolize larger issues in the relationship. Dr. Emily Sanchez, a family therapist, notes that when minor grievances go unresolved, they accumulate, leading to disproportionate reactions. So, while it seems silly, the toothpaste tube can become ground zero for larger frustrations. You might find yourself in a full-fledged argument before you've even had your coffee. The toothpaste debacle becomes a battleground of wills, where neither of you is willing to concede. You start questioning your partner's upbringing or even their sanity. All the while, your actual issues remain buried under layers of resentment. It's not truly about the toothpaste, but it's the spark that sets off the blaze. 2. The Temperature Wars The thermostat can become a weapon in marital warfare. One of you might like it cool while the other wants it warm, turning the living room into a battleground of blankets and open windows. The debate over a couple of degrees can escalate into a shouting match, each side refusing to budge. It's not really about the temperature, though; it's about control and compromise, or the lack thereof. Before you know it, you're both entrenched in your positions, unwilling to give an inch. The room becomes a symbol of a larger power struggle, and neither side wants to admit defeat. Arguments over temperature can expose deeper issues—like a refusal to acknowledge the other person's needs. If you could just talk about what you actually want from each other, maybe the thermostat wouldn't be such a big deal. But when you're unhappy, even adjusting the heat feels like a concession too large to make. 3. The Remote Control Battle Who knew that a small device with buttons could hold so much power? The remote control becomes a source of contention, a tug-of-war over who gets to decide what to watch. This battle is less about the show and more about whose choice matters more in the relationship. According to Dr. Alan Williams, an expert in relationship dynamics, disagreements over seemingly trivial possessions like the remote can indicate a struggle for equality. It's never just about television; it's about whose preferences get prioritized. Imagine this: you've had a long day, and all you want is to watch your favorite show. But your spouse insists on a movie they've seen a million times. The compromise feels impossible, like a slight against your tastes. It's as if the TV schedule is a referendum on whose interests are more important. And as you stew in silence, you may find yourself wondering why something so small feels so significant. 4. The Lights Being Left On You'd think managing the lights in a home would be a non-issue, but you'd be wrong. One of you might feel like the other is sabotaging the utility bill by leaving lights on in every room. The habit of keeping the house lit can quickly escalate into accusations of carelessness or wastefulness. It's an ongoing game of who can outlast whom in turning off switches, a game no one ever really wins. Both of you may genuinely feel your stance is justified, leading to endless debates. You're not just arguing about electricity; you're questioning respect and responsibility. Leaving the lights on becomes a symbol of all the ways you feel ignored or unheard. Yet again, the actual light switch becomes the scapegoat for your deeper issues. It's a cycle that continues until someone decides it's truly time to address why it even matters. 5. The Grocery List Fails Ah, the grocery list—simple in theory but a potential powder keg in reality. You may argue over who forgot to pick up milk or why someone bought the wrong brand of cereal. According to a 2020 study conducted by Dr. Lisa Grant from the University of Michigan, miscommunication about mundane tasks like grocery shopping often reflects larger communication breakdowns in the relationship. It's not just about forgetting the eggs; it's about feeling forgotten or undervalued. The grocery list becomes a litmus test for the health of your relationship. You start to wonder if this is just another example of your partner's inability to pay attention to details. Or maybe it's you who feels like you're constantly being judged for not getting it right. The result is a small-scale battle that leaves both of you feeling unheard and unimportant. Yet, despite the countless fights, the cereal aisle sees you again next week, ready for another round. 6. The Battle Over Bedtime Bedtime should be a peaceful end to the day, but in unhappy marriages, it can turn into a battleground. Differences in sleep schedules can spark late-night arguments that disturb more than just your slumber. One of you might prefer to stay up late, while the other wants to hit the hay early. It doesn't take long for this to devolve into a debate over consideration and respect. You'll find yourselves litigating past grievances, each accusing the other of being inconsiderate. Night after night, bedtime becomes an ordeal rather than a comfort. The argument isn't really about when the lights go out—it's about feeling sidelined or taken for granted. What should be a moment of rest becomes another round in the ongoing conflict. And so you both lie awake, worn out from a fight that should never have happened. 7. The Dishwashing Dilemma Few things are as universally dreaded as doing the dishes, but in an unhappy marriage, it becomes a regular flashpoint. Perhaps one of you leaves dirty dishes in the sink, expecting the other to deal with them. This minor habit can spiral into a full-blown argument about fairness and responsibility. According to Dr. Sarah Johnson, a specialist in household dynamics, arguments over chores often stem from perceived imbalances in a relationship. She notes that when chores aren't shared, resentment can easily build up. You might find yourselves locked in a passive-aggressive war over whose turn it is to clean up. Those dishes start to symbolize all the ways you feel the relationship is unequal. Each dirty plate becomes a silent testament to the imbalance you sense in your marriage. And as the dishes pile up, so does the animosity, turning a minor inconvenience into a major issue. Addressing the imbalance in dish duty could ease tensions, but when unhappiness sets in, nothing feels simple. 8. The Laundry List Of Grievances Doing laundry might not seem like a big deal until it becomes the center of your latest argument. One of you leaves clothes in the washer too long, or maybe someone never remembers to empty the lint trap. These minor oversights can quickly become a major grievance in an unhappy marriage. Over time, they transform into a litany of complaints neither of you is willing to forgive. What starts as a small annoyance becomes a symbol of deeper frustrations. Laundry should be routine, yet it somehow morphs into a referendum on your relationship. The clothes become a backdrop for accusations of neglect or irresponsibility. You both start keeping mental lists of every laundry-related slight, waiting for the moment to bring them up. And so, a task meant to clean becomes another mess to sort through. It's never really about the laundry; it's about everything else you're not saying. 9. The Parking Spot Fight You wouldn't think parking would be a source of conflict, but in an unhappy marriage, even this can become contentious. Whether it's about who gets the better spot or who forgot where they parked, it's a debate waiting to happen. This seemingly minor issue can quickly escalate into a full-blown argument. It's not the parking spot that's the problem, but what it represents—a clash over priorities and attentiveness. You both find yourselves annoyed over something so trivial, yet neither can let it go. The parking spot becomes a battleground for unresolved issues, a place to project your frustrations. You might even accuse each other of being careless or inconsiderate. In reality, the argument has little to do with parking and everything to do with deeper dissatisfaction. The issue remains unresolved, ready to rear its head the next time you're looking for a place to park. 10. The Social Media Minefield In today's digital age, social media can become a silent third party in your marriage. You might argue about who spends more time scrolling or who "liked" whose post. This can quickly evolve into a debate about attention and priorities. It feels like every online interaction is scrutinized, another potential skirmish in a wider war. The digital world becomes an extension of your marital issues, a place where grievances migrate. You find yourselves dissecting each other's online behavior, looking for signs of neglect or disinterest. Social media becomes a mirror for your relationship, reflecting everything that's left unsaid. What should be a platform for connection turns into another wedge between you. If only scrolling through Instagram wasn't such a potential landmine. Yet every notification feels like a signal flare, warning of another impending argument. 11. The Coffee Meltdown Ah, the simple act of making coffee—what could possibly go wrong? In an unhappy marriage, even this daily ritual can become a point of contention. Maybe one of you drinks the last cup without making more, or someone never cleans the coffee pot. It's not the coffee itself that causes the conflict, but the perceived lack of consideration. The morning brew becomes another excuse for frustration. You might find yourself clinging to your grievances over that empty pot. It becomes a metaphor for every way you feel unsupported or unappreciated. Every sip of coffee is a reminder of what's missing in your relationship. What should be a moment of peace becomes yet another struggle for equilibrium. The bitterness isn't just in the coffee—it's in the way you feel ignored. 12. The Pet Peeve Fest The small quirks you once found adorable can become unbearable in an unhappy marriage. Maybe it's the way your spouse chews or their habit of leaving shoes in the doorway. These pet peeves grow into larger-than-life issues. What once made you smile now makes you cringe, a sure sign of deeper discontent. You start to wonder how such small things can feel so monumental. As these irritations build, they become proxies for all the deeper issues you're not addressing. The quirks are no longer endearing; they're aggravating. They serve as constant reminders of everything you wish you could change. Instead of focusing on what truly matters, you find yourself nitpicking the minutiae. It's not really about the shoes or the chewing; it's about all the unresolved tension you're harboring. 13. The Morning Routine Resentment The way you start your day should set a positive tone, but in an unhappy marriage, even this can become fraught. One of you might take too long in the bathroom, or maybe the other is too loud when getting ready. What should be a simple routine turns into a chaotic ballet of stepping on each other's toes. It's not about the routine itself but how each action reflects larger issues of respect and space. You find yourself irritated before you've even left for work. The morning routine becomes a source of anxiety rather than comfort. Each button pressed on the coffee machine or flick of the hairdryer feels like a personal affront. Instead of cooperation, it's a daily race to see who can get out the door with the least friction. The routine becomes another arena where your relationship's challenges play out.
