It's the multi-million dollar question everyone was asking Friday night, how would you spend $312-million dollars?
"My dad had heart surgery so he wants to win money to pay off his debts," said Lisa Hart.
"I'd travel to anywhere I want to go, then I'd give my daughter, son and grandson a lot of money," said Georgia Anchikites.
No one won the $244 million dollar Mega Millions jackpot in Tuesday's drawing and strong sales in the multi-state lottery game pushed the jackpot to the $312 million mark. Rocky's News Stand on North Salina Street has sold tens of thousands of tickets since Tuesday.
"I'm just playing one. I usually don't get into lotto but this time it's so big, it's tempting," said Robert Maurus.
"I always feel lucky, but then I always lose," said Frank Vogel. But if his luck changes, "Well for one, I wouldn't go to work on Monday."
Of course, whenever lottery jackpots grow to this size, or there is talk of schools facing financial problems, we get questions from viewers about lottery revenues that are supposed to go toward education. Click here for Lou Gulino's blog on the subject that breaks down all the numbers.
