Original Story:

If you played the Powerball lottery Wednesday, you could have a chance to win more than half a billion dollars.

The $550 million dollar jackpot is the 8th largest Powerball jackpot.

The odds of winning are about one in 300 million. However, that didn’t stop people from grabbing their tickets today with hopes and dreams of winning big.

We asked some customers like Lewis Byers who purchased a ticket at Welcome Food Stores in Mandarin what he plans to do with the money if he wins.

“Take care of our parents do something for ourselves and our children we have two boys there are 24 and 27, then give back to the community,” Byers said.

The winning numbers drawn were 10,53,50,63,14 and the Powerball was 21.
