How Would You Spend $168 Million?
WPTV went to the Publix where the winning ticket was sold and asked people how they would spend all that cash!
Kristian Groleiu of Boynton Beach said she wouldn’t work anymore, pay off her father's house and continue "to live my simple life."
Yvonne Claudio of Boynton Beach said she would buy a full-size Chevrolet Tahoe, establish a college fund for her grandson and buy her father a house.
Laconnia Watkins of Royal Palm Beach believes that amount of money is too much for one person and would give it to her family and help build shelters for the homeless and battered women.
