1. It could be the best $2 you ever spend, so don't forget to snag that Powerball ticket for Wednesday night's drawing.

The jackpot is a whopping three-quarter of a billion dollars, meaning $750 million. That makes it the fourth-highest prize the U.S. lottery has ever seen.

If you take the cash option, you would go home with about $465.5 million. But with all the ticket-buying going on today, that jackpot will likely go up.

2. Ford Airport is once again hosting its Passenger Appreciation Days for those heading out of state for Spring Break.

Starting Thursday, passengers will get to enjoy free food and drinks each day from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

There will also be a ton of giveaways, prize drawings and contests for people traveling.

The event will be held in the airport's grand hall meet and greet area.

Passenger Appreciation Days run through Saturday.
