No, Powerball winners are not paying $10,000 or $1,000 to everyone who likes their Facebook pages. Even a Lottery winner has a finite amount of money to give out. These pages are likely hoaxes whose purpose is to collect and share personal private information. Or, they might be simply living out personal fantasies about what life would be like if they were to win such a large amount.
From the link, some are not even legitimate -- you can look up winners by Googling up Powerball. In the worst case, the "winner" will contact you and ask for your bank account details -- so they can deposit the promised $10,000 in your bank account, of course. When you give it to them, they will empty your bank account and cut and run.
If you want to win a quick $1,000 or $10,000, playing the Lottery is a better option; however, the odds are stacked so that the Lottery would win -- otherwise, there would be no more Lottery. There are plenty of good ways to make a better living -- look for a better job in your field would be one way to start. The website jobs.mo.gov would be a good place to start and the Missouri Career Center has an office in Maryville. Draw up a business plan and ask people for funding would be another if you own a business. Holding a yard sale and advertising it in the local papers would be a good way to raise a quick few hundred or a thousand -- and no need to play the odds or give out information to people you don't know personally.
But the best way to get a better lifestyle would be to elect officials who would raise our standard of living -- as opposed to tearing the other person down. Push for policies that would create jobs and improve our way of life. While we have some radical ideas that we think would raise everyone's standard of living, we support any idea from any party that would help. No idea is too large or too small. If everyone participates in the political process, we would put scammers out of business and raise everyone's standard of living.
