In order to win the Powerball jackpot, your ticket must have all six correct numbers. Last night’s drawing was the 31st since a ticket with all the right numbers was sold. Computer science major Dennis Wang, sophomore mechanical engineering major Roland Pascual, and astronautic engineering major Henry Adam all have a similar idea of where they would begin.
Dennis Wang: I would spend it on houses...
Roland Pascual: Second thing, get a house.
Henry Adam: I would buy probably like an absurd number of houses, just like so many houses. Wherever houses are cheap, just buy a ton of houses there.
While getting a roof over their head might be a good start, where do these three want to settle down?
Henry Adam: I feel like I’ve heard that houses are cheap in Bali and stuff. That would be sick because you could go there and surf.
Dennis Wang: It’s probably going to be in the Bahamas on an island.
Roland Pascual: I wouldn’t know now, maybe with a little research, but yeah. Maybe somewhere in California.
Speaking of new places, two students, senior business admin. major Jennah Motani and econ. major Addison Gregory, have adventuresome aspirations.
Addison Gregory: I would probably travel because I’ve never really been outside the country.
Jennah Motani: I would travel, and I’d probably buy a boat because I’ve gotten really into sailing lately. So I’d probably buy a boat, like a really nice one, and travel the world.
Where do the two want to go? Gregory wants to go to Europe, and Motani wants to go tropical.
Addison Gregory: Oh, I think the Netherlands would be cool. France and then Belgium.
Jennah Motani: Oh Fiji, Tahiti, and Raja Ampat in Indonesia.
The Powerball lottery is played in 45 states, including Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico.
