MILFORD, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Mass. residents hope to cash in big on Saturday's Powerball drawing.

After no grand prize winners in Wednesday night's drawing, the Powerball jackpots stands at an estimated $760 million. If there is a winner and they select the one-time cash payout, they will take home $355.9 million.

WBZ's Kim Tunnicliffe spoke to residents grabbing their tickets at a Richdale's in Milford, Mass.

"The odds are about the same whether you buy one or if you buy 100," said one resident, trying their luck with only one ticket.

If they win, some residents would upgrade their lifestyle, while other would give back to their community.

“[I would] give a lot of it away to charity and help a lot of people out. I couldn’t use that money, no way, no way. I’d probably go on a trip [or] retire," said one resident.

“Probably take a few days off from here and I'll come back. I would be here. I’d probably by a car and a house and then I’d be all set," said another resident not banking her retirement on the jackpot.

Saturday's drawing will be broadcast on the Powerball website and YouTube page at 11:00 P.M.
