CHECK YOUR TICKETS: The winning numbers for tonight's $1 billion Powerball jackpot have been drawn.
People showed up at convenience stores, groceries and gas stations across the country on Halloween hoping to find their own treat: a chance at Monday night's massive $1 billion Powerball jackpot.Among them was Janice Turner, one of a steady stream of people - some wearing costumes - buying Powerball tickets at an outdoor kiosk in midtown Manhattan.In the same line was Scott Henyan, who was already making plans for a jackpot win.
In Houston, 60-year-old Candy Dumas, a real estate home stager, said she came to a Super K Food Store because of the high payout. Dozens of people, including Orelia Pearson, lined up to buy tickets at the Bluebird Liquor Store in Hawthorne, California, which also has a reputation as being a lucky store.
“We’re going through a recession right now,” Tanner said. "The economy sucks, so I would be a giver. I’m a giver, but I will keep some for us. I guess my cup will be full, but when it overflows, I’ll bless others.” Monday's huge jackpot comes less than two years after another lottery reached the $1 billion mark. A ticket matched all six numbers drawn Jan. 22, 2021, in the Mega Millions lottery to win the $1.05 billion dollar jackpot.
