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.
