On Saturday the Powerball jackpot was at $478 million. That's the largest it’s been since the $1.6 billion Powerball back in January.
People throughout the metro stopped into Red X in Riverside to try and pick their winning numbers while dreaming big.
“I would buy a cargo airplane, a small two engine c-7 caribou,” said Ed Porter.
“I’m going to pay off my debts and I’m going to buy a red convertible,” said Mary Lohoefener.
The winner has the option of spreading the $478 million out over the next 30 years or taking the lump sum option, which would be $330.6 million before federal taxes.
