$348 million. Yes, lottery fever is back in Colorado. 

The Powerball lottery did not have a Jackpot winner Saturday. The next drawing will be held Wednesday, May 4.

You could become the richest person in Mesa County. Well, maybe not the richest. But it would definitely put you into a different tax bracket.

So, let's review how it all works. For each $2 ticket, you have to select five separate numbers all between 1 and 69. Then you have to choose a number between 1 and 26. That last one is your Powerball number. If you match all six of those numbers, $348 million is all yours.

Sounds easy enough, right? Well, just so you know, the odds of matching all six are 1 in 292 million. Not that it should dismay you into not taking a shot at it. In fact, you have a 1 in 38 chance to win $4.

I will be taking the chance. I found $5 in my pants pocket after going through the washing machine. That has got to mean good luck!
