People with dreams of winning Saturday’s record $365 million Powerball lottery jackpot stood in lengthening lines to buy tickets that flew out of machines at dizzying speeds.

“I figure somebody is going to win it, so it might as well be me,” said Casey Symonds of Omaha, Neb., after buying $25 worth of tickets for himself and four co-workers Friday.

As it turns out, at least one ticket sold in Nebraska did match all six numbers drawn Saturday night: 15-17-43-44-48 and Powerball 29. However, the ticket was sold in Lincoln, the Nebraska Lottery reported. It wasn’t known late Saturday whether other winning tickets were sold in other states.

The Powerball jackpot topped the previous lottery record, which was $363 million for the Big Game – the forerunner of Mega Millions. That was won by two ticket holders in Illinois and Michigan in 2000.

Powerball’s previous record of $340 million was won by an Oregon family in October.

Sales in South Carolina reached $11,000 a minute on Friday, “pretty staggering,” said John C.B. Smith, chairman of the state’s lottery commission.

People wait in line outside the Greenwich Cigar Store in Greenwich, Conn., for Powerball Lottery tickets. Saturday's jackpot was a record 65 million.

The big buyers usually are people representing pools of co-workers, and some bought hundreds of tickets at a time, said Hope Travers, clerk at a 7-Eleven in Providence, R.I.

But with that much money on the line, sometimes the pool buyers ask for separate tickets on the side, said Bruce Rogers, owner of Kevin’s Corner Smoke Shop in downtown Providence.

“I say ‘What are you going to do, leave everyone else out?’ They say ‘Yeah, I’d do it in a heartbeat,”‘ he said.

Charlie Jasmer, 59, a former Minnesota milk truck driver who won a $5 million Powerball jackpot in 1997, even has tickets for Saturday’s jackpot – but hopes a group wins rather than an individual.

“It’d be better to make a bunch of people happy instead of one person miserable.”
