EAST ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Powerball jackpot has reached a staggering $1.7 billion for the drawing on Christmas Eve, making it the fourth-largest in Powerball history.
Winners typically opt for the cash option, which is more than $781 million.
The odds of winning the jackpot are slim, at 1 in 292 million, but there is always a chance. News10NBC visited a convenience store in East Rochester to ask locals what they would do if they won.
“I would pay off debt, give some money to my friends, people that I love, throw at a charity, help schools,” one person said. “You get to a certain point, you don’t need that much.”
“Trying to hit it big for the holidays,” another person said, pointing to his baby son. “Got this guy, first holiday, see if we can send him to college, ha-ha.”
Since September, there have been 46 consecutive drawings without a big winner.
