Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, Kentucky Coach John Calipari, Capitals standout Alexander Ovechkin … these are just a few of the sports world’s most successful millionaires hoping to becomes billionaires by winning Wednesday night’s unprecedented Powerball drawing worth an estimated $1.5 billion. And why not? The lottery might not be the best thing for society, but it sure can be fun.
Who doesn’t love a game of chance? Anthony, whose five-year contract is worth more than $120 million, sure does.
“I don’t think I’m going to ever get hit by an asteroid,” he told reporters on Monday (via the New York Daily News).
