Tickets cost $2, and people across South Florida are weighing in on what they would do if they struck it rich.
One man told Local 10 he would use the money to open a church, calling it a way to give back and create a space for worship.
The jackpot, now one of the largest in Powerball history, has fueled a wave of ticket sales. Many players say even the dream of winning is worth the cost of entry.
