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.<\/p>\n

Some people have traveled hundreds of miles to get a ticket, as six states don’t take part in the Powerball.<\/p>\n
