The Powerball jackpot has climbed to its highest point of the year after no winner was announced on Wednesday. The estimated prize for Saturday’s drawing has reached $1.5 billion, with a cash option of $686 million. This year’s record stands at nearly $1.79 billion. We asked a few members of the local community about what they would do if they won the grand jackpot.
Pamellaa Nutter, a Nipomo resident, shared, "So I just wait if it gets up to a billion or close to that. I'll buy one. I hope whoever wins it would do what I would do with it, which is give it all away."
