“The Powerball Jackpot is now up to a 24 pack of Charmin”

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic resulted in panic-buying (and shortages) of toilet paper.
   
“I heard next week’s Powerball jackpot is going to be $60million AND a 48 pack of 3ply toilet paper. Sure would like to win that toilet paper.  #Lotto #Powerball #OzLotto” was posted on Twitter by Twitter by Col Smith on March 13, 2020. “The Powerball Jackpot is up to an 18 pack of Charmin!” was posted on Facebook by Tim Mowery on April 2, 2020. “The Powerball Jackpot is now up to a 24 pack of Charmin” was posted on Twitter by Sam Adams on April 3, 2020.
   
“Tonight’s Powerball jackpot is a full tank of unleaded gas and a sheet of plywood” is a related joke.
