With an expected record $1.9 billion jackpot up for grabs, poker star Shaun Deeb is running a Powerball pool to buy up thousands of possible winning combinations.

The current Powerball jackpot, which exceeds $1.6 billion, has taken the US by storm. On social media, it's been one of the lead trending stories the past week. Millions of Americans have gone to their local lottery store to purchase a ticket in hopes of winning an unthinkable amount of money.

Strangely enough, those who live in Las Vegas can't purchase lottery tickets because doing so isn't permitted in Nevada, a state in which you can gamble on just about anything else.
