I was curious to see the cut that Uncle Sam will get from last night's Powerball Jackpot, and it's just a drop in the bucket compared to our National Debt.

Since the featured image of this post had been snapped by photographer Andrew Burton, The National Debt has risen another 4 Trillion dollars.

Thanks to Shark news director Don Briand (He knew the percentage AND did the math.) The amount of tax payed upon the 1.6 Billion is still impressive.

$633,600,000

Not too shabby. But keep in mind, it would only cover just less than 12,000 Americans share of The National Debt.
