As today’s Powerball jackpot reaches a hefty $200 million, Hall County residents took the opportunity to stock up on tickets in hopes of being the lottery’s lucky winner. While some people had a hard time even imagining what that amount of money would do for their bank accounts, others had no problem knowing what they would do with those kind of winnings. Lila Jones and Bree Peoples purchased their tickets at gas stations off Thompson Bridge Road on Tuesday.
