$1.8 billion on the line had Austin buzzing this Christmas Eve, with everyone from hopeful ticket buyers to total skeptics weighing in.

There were even plans for trusts and hospitals if luck struck! Whether you played or passed, the Powerball fever brought out big dreams and bigger questions: What would you really do if you won? Would it change your life—or would you keep things just the way they are? #News #Austin #Powerball
