With the Powerball jackpot climbing to a staggering $1.8 billion, people have ideas on what they would do with the money.
"I would open a university," said Lisa Presley of South Philadelphia.
"I'd take all my family and we'd just go traveling," said Lynette Kortue of South Philadelphia.
For some, it's all about catching up on expenses.
"Pay off my house, and pay off my bills okay, that's what I really, really need to do," said Priscilla Cosby of South Philadelphia.
Others say family would come first.
"Pay off the house, take care of the kids and the family," said John Bagby of Overbrook.
And then, there are those who would keep their win completely secret.
"I'd disappear," said John Downs of Havertown. "No one would know. I'd send some postcards later on, but other than that, I'm out phone disconnected, email gone, I'm not responding."
Some would share the news, but carefully.
"I probably would tell people, but I'd have to make sure I have all my ducks in a row in terms of financial advisors," said Elena Perri of Havertown.
For most, a jackpot win is just a dream. According to Powerball.com, the odds of winning the grand prize are just 1 in 292 million.
A million-dollar jackpot, matching all 5 white balls is 1 in 11 million. Your odds improve to 1 in 38 for the smallest prize, $4. But the odds aren't stopping people from trying their luck.
"Definitely retire, buy a place down the shore, pay off college tuition for all my kids," said Jim Deignan of Havertown.
Some say they'd use their winnings to give back.
"There's enough to share with everybody. There are so many unfortunate people the hungry, and children," said Elaine Stinger of Havertown.
"I would give a lot to CHOP. I really love what they do there," said Bryan Whaner,of Havertown.
And then, there are those who already feel lucky.
"I got the winning ticket," said Bagby.
