The official Powerball YouTube channel is dubbed Powerball39. (The number probably comes from the amount of active Powerballs back when the channel was started in March of 2009.) It boasts 464,000+ views, 2,070+ subscribers, and 394+ videos of different Powerball drawings in its roughly three years and nine months of existence. And here’s one of those videos that watches exactly how you think it would.

It’s no surprise the view counts for the installments seem to be (at least in recent history) directly proportional to the jackpot. The most watched video to date with over 15,000 views is from the $327 million jackpot drawing on November 24th. Expect the $550 million version to rack up similar numbers.

Good luck! And if you do win the big prize, try not to blow it.
