KETTERING -- People tested their 1 in 175 million chance of winning the $600 million Powerball Jackpot on Saturday at one of the luckiest store in the Miami Valley.
Bee Gee's in Kettering have sold winning tickets in the past but unfortunately no one has been lucky enough to win the Powerball.
"We've had quite a few winners," said Michael Sliger. "We're the number one agent in the Miami Valley, we're the number three, ahem, in the state out of about 9,000 stores," said Sliger.
Everyone has their number-selection strategy.
"I was using my children and my grandchildren birthdays, our anniversaries," said Debra Anderson of Centerville.
But some just trust fate.
"I think that's fine. I did that years and years ago," said Joanne Coyle. "I would pick birthdays and I was never really lucky so I'm just letting the machine do it," said Coyle.
You'd be surprise at what some say they'll do with the money.
"I would strategize. How much I would invest. How my children could benefit. Some charities I'm fond of. Wounded warriors, my church," said Coyle.
"I'll definitely give back to the community, to friends and family and start me a new YMCA center for the youth and boys club," said Jerry Leary of Cincinnati.
The latest jackpot is the world's second largest in history, but the chance of winning is extremely slim.
"Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you know what I'm saying, if you hit this you may be set forever and you can help out a lot of people with this," said Leary.
