A number of Canadians have been making trips south of the border in hopes of a record windfall.
The jackpot for Powerball, an American lottery, has soared to a whopping $800 million.
Ryden’s manager and owner Debbie Bakke told TBT News a number of people have been buying tickets, particularly in large amounts.
Canadians are eligible to win Powerball jackpot prizes. Winnings are subjected to a withholding tax of about 30 per cent, depending on the state the ticket was purchased in.
The odds of winning are about one in 292 million.
