While the odds of winning the Powerball are 1 in 292,201,338, you can still make a little bit of cash on the lowest prize of $4, where the odds of winning are 1 in 38.32.

Misinformation or 'viewpoint suppression?'
A federal appeals court ruled that the White House, health officials, and the FBI may have violated people's First Amendment Rights by pressuring technology companies to suppress or remove social media posts about elections fraud, the Covid-19 pandemic, and Hunter Biden's laptop.
The judges with the conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals said while officials engage with social media companies when it comes to misinformation and election interference, "the government is not permitted to advance these interests to the extent that it engages in viewpoint suppression.”
