Lottery machines were pumping out tickets all day long. People around Western Pennsylvania were still lined up late into the evening for their chance at the record-breaking jackpot.

People were getting last-minute tickets at the Giant Eagle on McKnight Road in the North Hills, about an hour before the deadline.

While standing in line, people were fantasizing about what they would do if they won.

"Take care of my family, pay off everybody's bills, go on a long vacation," said one person.
