The largest Powerball jackpot is up for grabs, but Scott Slabotsky, a CPA and lead managing director with CBIZ Inc. in Kansas City. said our odds are at best one in 1 billion.

"From the gigantic prize to the enormous odds against winning the Powerball jackpot, it's more than just a number's game, it's luck," said Slabotsky.

Below are a few things that are more likely to  happen according to Slabotsky:

  • The Chiefs winning the Super bowl
  • Catching a ball from Salvador Perez
  • Being audited by the IRS
