Carmelo Anthony has already hit a few jackpots in his lifetime — a gorgeous wife, beautiful son and a $124 million contract, just to name a few.

Melo certainly has the Midas touch, so why not try his luck at the biggest lottery jackpot of all time?

Anthony, one of the NBA’s wealthiest players, revealed on Monday that he did buy tickets for the Powerball drawing where the prize is in excess of $1 billion.

“I don’t think I’m going to ever get hit by an asteroid, I don’t think I’m ever going to be President,” Anthony told reporters on Monday.
