ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The Powerball jackpot has now reached over $1.1 billion.

Folks across Georgia are taking their shot Monday at winning the large pot of money.

“If I won a billion dollars I’m going to the beach. I’m just going to the beach. Simple as that,” Pernell Rachel said.

The prize money is the fifth largest in state history, according to Georgia Lottery officials. And if you win, the options are pretty much endless.

“Getting on a boat somewhere and just chilling. That’s it,” Pernell said.

“I know I still would work, but definitely, like, invest in some business,” India Dominguez said.

“To be honest with you, I’d probably give a lot of it away. That’s a lot of money and a lot of people need help. So, I’d probably give a lot of it away,” Rich White said.
