PITTSBURGH — People in the Pittsburgh area are stocking up on tickets as the Powerball jackpot passes $1 billion.
Channel 11 spoke with plenty of hopefuls at the BP in the city’s Summer Hill neighborhood.
David Brogan, who works at the store, said he always sees a rise in excitement when the jackpot gets this high.
“Everybody always gets excited when the jackpot’s up, and everybody talks about what they’d do with the money. Generally, a pretty exciting time,” Brogan said.
Mike Johnson of Ross Township told Channel 11 his plan if he hit the jackpot.
“It would be property...and I would disappear,” Johnson said.
Channel 11 will have the Powerball drawing tonight on 11 at 11.
