Lottery officials say the current jackpot is the sixth highest in history. No one has won the Powerball jackpot since early February.
Customers at the Sahara Market in Brooklyn told 1010 WINS reporter Gary Baumgarten that they were optimistic about their chances to take home the big prize.
"Someone's got to win, that's me," said Bill.
The holders of two winning tickets _ one purchased in Arizona and the other in Missouri _ shared $587.5 million in November, the largest Powerball jackpot in history.
Powerball is played in 42 States, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
