SHERMAN, Texas (KXII) The Powerball is causing buzz all around Texoma. <\/p>\n
The winning numbers are 6, 7, 16, 23, 26, and the Powerball is 4. <\/p>\n
Gas stations have been packed with people trying to take home the second-largest Powerball prize in history, all with differing dreams. <\/p>\n
\"A big trip,\" said Brenda Peralta, who lives in Anna, about what she would do if she won. \"I got a feeling I might go to Miami... it's one of my dreams.\" <\/p>\n
\"I'm going to Disneyland and then I'm buying a private island down in the Caribbean,\" said Ronald Rector of Sherman. <\/p>\n
\"First thing I'd do is I might might buy a school become an educator there,\" said Dylan Simpson of Sherman. <\/p>\n
Everyone is vying to win the second largest Powerball jackpot in history-- a whopping $700 million. <\/p>\n
\"I'm very excited, I got the feeling I'm gonna be the winner,\" Peralta said. <\/p>\n
The prize is drawing hundreds to local gas stations all lining up and thinking this will be their lucky day. <\/p>\n
\"There's been really a buzz,\" said Quasi Almomani, the manager of Gateway Shell off U.S. 75 and Highway 82. \"People wanting to win...they hear $700 million and people just want to get on it.\" <\/p>\n
A $2 ticket gets you a one in 292,000,000 chance of taking home the biggest prize. <\/p>\n
\"It's been really busy and later on in the day it'll get busier. Hopefully somebody will win,\" Almomani said. <\/p>\n
But that prize is only if you get the annuity option, which spreads the money out over years. Getting the cash option carries a measly prize of $443 million. <\/p>\n
\"I'm feeling kinda lucky anyways,\" Simpson said. \"I've been having a streak of good luck lately.\" <\/p>\n
So they're crossing their fingers-- and dreaming of private islands. <\/p>\n
\"There's not much to say about it, except this is the winning ticket,\" Rector said. <\/p>\n
