Trying to win the $1.5bn powerball tonight by leveraging Steelers magic

Anyone who works in a typical office knows that there's no more compelling topic of conversation than tonight's impending $1.5bn Powerball lottery drawing. I already belong to a floor-wide pool where we play every single Powerball drawing for a $1 a week, but with 6 months of information I can tell that that's never going to pay off. This is me trying to leverage Steeler magic into an unfathomable windfall:

16 and 18

These numbers were chosen because they were the final scores for the home Cincinnati Bengals and the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers in last weekend's AFC wildcard game, respectively

24 and 55

IIRC, these are the jersey numbers of Cinncinnatti defensive back Adam 'Pacman' Jones and Bengals undrafted character issues LB Vontaze Burfict. Two men whom without their hotheaded actions last Saturday, the Steelers could not have advanced in the playoffs. Postgame instagram Pacman, you look like you've just seen a ghost!

50

The super bowl (this year's) that I sincerely hope the Pittsburgh Steelers win. Stairway to seven baby..

Bonus Powerball Number: 07

I can't decide if this was chosen for Ben or for the record-breaking number of Super Bowl victories the Pittsburgh Steelers will have captured following the 2015-16 NFL season. Either way, when you can choose from 00-26 for your lucky number, you could do worse than '07 in about 26 different ways..

What would I do if I won the $1.5bn jackpot

If I win with coworkers = give all my immediate family $1mm each to do whatever they want; demand 100% pay increase to be one of the only people on my floor to not up and quit

If I win with magic Steelers numbers = give my immediate family $1mm each to do whatever they want; get in touch with Mario Lemieux/Ron Burkle about their interest in selling the Pens. If I can buy majority stake in the Pens, initiate public stock sale in the Pens for citizens of the PGH metro area. Get my lawyer friend to help me write up a Pens constitution that ensures their endless NHL profits directly benefit the city in hopes that someone will build a statue of me. What a great guy i am :)

Beat the Bronco's; they're just Yonco's
