Lottery players and dreamers have a chance at big money, this weekend with the Mega Millions and Powerball games worth a combined 1.4 billion dollars.
The odds are long for everyone in line: 1 in 302 million for the Mega Millions, 1 in 292 million for Powerball, and 1 in 88 quadrillion to win both. Still, each ticket offers a chance at hope. Some are desperate, but most are 'dreamy' about the chance of winning millions and what we might do with such riches.A non-scientific sampling of ticket buyers suggests families and parents will fare well.
"I would pay off anything that my mom has debt on, anything that i have debt on and, then, go from there so I have a nice clean start," says another woman.
