One woman in Texas got her neighbors to join her lottery pool and bought 685 tickets for Wednesday’s big drawing.

The Powerball drawing takes place in a different city every week. On Wednesday night, the drawing will be held at the headquarters of the Florida Lottery in Tallahassee.

The balls and machines are kept under lock and key in a vault which is guarded by a police officer until moments before the appointed hour – 11 p.m. EST.
