WATCH: (Scroll Down For Video) Thousands of people have formed lines across retailers across the country, many people waiting hours to get their lotto ticket for tonight’s draw.
Some people have traveled hundreds of miles to get a ticket, as six states don’t take part in the Powerball.
Both Hawaii and Alaska don’t take part in the Powerball draws due to the distance between them and the mainland United States.
Thousands of people have been crossing state lines from Nevada, where they don’t play the Powerball due to a nod to the state’s casinos, into California.
Massive lines also formed at stores in New York but according to new research a winner in the state would bring home the smallest prize of anywhere else.
By the time a potential winner pays state and city taxes, their actual jackpot would be considerably less – only $579.4 million.
