CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx \u2014 Forget the Halloween candy \u2014 there’s a sweeter treat up for grabs tonight: a $754 million Mega Millions jackpot.<\/p>\n
KRIS 6 News hit the streets to ask locals the age-old question: What would you do if you won tonight’s drawing?<\/p>\n
Ray Morales, a local veteran, didn’t hesitate when asked about his plans if he were to win the jackpot.<\/p>\n
“If I was to win the lottery, I would bless people that are in need,” Morales told KRIS 6 News. “As a veteran, I would find a shelter, bring in all these homeless veterans, and give them medical care, transportation, and everything.”<\/p>\n
When asked if he knew how much the jackpot was worth, Morales had a simple response: “It don’t matter as long as I win it.”<\/p>\n

The $754 million jackpot represents the ninth-largest prize in the game’s history, offering a lump-sum cash option or an annuity paid over 30 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx \u2014 Forget the Halloween candy \u2014 there’s a sweeter treat up for grabs tonight: a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29818,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[155,157,156,3822,20059,12192,20060,20061],"class_list":["post-29817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi-headlines","tag-corpus-christi-news","tag-lottery","tag-lotto-jackpot","tag-mega-millions","tag-prescott-meat-market","tag-what-would-you-do-if-you-won-the-lottery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
