Keeler Show Gives Listeners Chance at $600 (m) Million Dollar Jackpot

First News with Keeler in the Morning is giving listeners the chance to share their Powerball ticket winnings this weekend; that is, if there are any!  Keeler has been giving listeners the chance to join in on their Powerball winnings for the last 3 drawings, including this weekend's better than half a billion dollar jackpot.

Here's how it works: Keeler takes  callers on-air and asks them to select their Powerball numbers.  Powerball picks include five numbers from one to 59 and a Powerball number from one to 35.  Keeler then buys a ticket using those numbers and promises to share any winnings on those particular numbers with the caller, Jeff Monaski and Kristine Bellino.  Each would share 25% of the winnings after taxes.

"We thought it would be cool to team up with listeners and give them a chance to participate in our morning show pool," said Keeler.  "I also figured we would take the complete ride on this jackpot and continue to play everybody's numbers until this jackpot is finally won."

That means Keeler keeps playing the numbers of people who call in, until this jackpot is won by someone.  It all started last week for Saturday's drawing when the jackpot was over $250 million dollars.  Four contestants joined in with numbers then and when nobody won the jackpot, the show included them in the next drawing.

"We'll keep buying their numbers until someone finally wins," said Keeler.  "If their numbers win a prize, they'll get 25% of the winnings after taxes."

2. Dennis Doughtery,  Donna Dellanno,  Lisa Carpf,  John Carroll, John Starsika, Scott Blanchard,  Scott Duck,  Heidi Mantelli,  Rick Compton,  Dick Larkin,  Francis Burke
