Wednesday’s Powerball jackpot is up to an astounding $1.5 billion and it seems like everyone in America is getting in on the craze…even John Calipari. UK fan Anup Paudel posted this picture of Calipari buying a Powerball ticket at a gas station in Lexington to our Facebook page, proof that even though he’s already a millionaire, Cal couldn’t resist taking a chance at becoming a billionaire. (Somewhere in here is a joke about how Calipari could also “win the lottery” by accepting an NBA job offer, but whatever.)
I contacted Anup, who works at the gas station and he gave me some details.
