MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- With the Powerball up to 317 million, CBS4's Cynthia Demos asked players the first of everything they would do if they won that much money.

"I would be like Oh My Gosh," said Patricia Yannis.

"First I would go to my job," said Edson Crevecoeur.

"I would start a space program," said David Martin. "And I would put up decorations and all of that."

"First thing I do cash it and see how many taxes were out of it," said Cinthya Garcia.

When asked who would be the first person they would tell, responses varied.

"I would tell my mom," said Patricia Yannis.

"My wife," said Martin.

"My fiancé," said Greg DiCarlo.

When asked who would be the first person they would not tell, some said their family.

"The tax guy," said Martin.

"People who I think may want to rob me. I've heard some stories," said Garcia.

"My brother," said Fred Kirijan.

"My mom," said Crevecoeur.

The Powerball numbers were scheduled to be drawn Wednesday evening.
