Powerball players are hoping they have ticket to easy street tonight.
That's if -- and it's a big if.. they hit the jackpot of more than 250-million dollars..

We stopped by the Anthracite Newstand on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre.. The owner tells us it's the busiest day for lottery sales they've ever seen.
Customers , like Tony Wallace told us they've never played Powerball before, but felt today was the day to give it a try.

"I think my chances are good like anybody else. I'm just trying to cash in like any American, hit the big one and live the American dream."

The Powerball numbers are drawn just before 11 tonight...Good luck...
