Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be watching the drawing for the $1.5-billion Powerball jackpot along with the rest of America.

Rodgers admitted that not only will he be watching Wednesday night, but that he's given himself a shot at winning the enormous prize.

"I mean, why not?" Rodgers said, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. "C'mon, everybody's got the same opportunity, right? One in 292 million, or billion? Yeah, I've got my tickets."

While Rodgers doesn't exactly need the money because of his $22-million-a-year contract, he does have aspirations that would require that kind of money.

"I'd buy an NHL team," Rodgers said.
