CORPUS CHRISTI -- With less than 48 hours until a record Powerball drawing worth more than $400 million, people are lining up at stores across the city to get their tickets.

"I would pay off bills, pay off my home, and possibly purchase a home for my children," said Theresa Trejo who bought a ticket.

"I think I would help some people out that need help," said Gus Salazar.

The $425 million drawing is Wednesday night.
