The estimated Powerball jackpot is up to $600 million, and people across Rhode Island are buying tickets and crossing their fingers.
“If you hit it, you’ll be happy all your life,” one man told WPRO on Friday.
Many people said they would pay off their debt, help their family or buy a home if they one. Others were more charitable.
“I’d help a lot of people, a lot of people that need it,” she said. “God gives to you and you give back.”
Others wouldn’t change a thing.
“I’m a working person, [I’d] just keep working and put it in the bank,” said another man.
The drawing for the largest ever Powerball jackpot is Saturday night. It is reportedly the second largest lottery jackpot in the world.
