PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Monday night's Powerball jackpot is worth an estimated $1 billion and time is running out to get a ticket. People are doing what they can for a little extra luck when buying a ticket.

The odds of winning this $1 billion dollar prize aren't great, but fans say they're feeling pretty lucky with their teams doing so well.

What a time to be a sports fan in Philadelphia. The Eagles win, the Union wins and now you can, too.

"This has been a magical time for Philadelphia fans. It feels like somebody from our area has to win, it's just the way it's going," Marianne Murphy, a lottery player, said.

She bought her ticket for the Powerball jackpot at this convenience store in Mount Ephraim, New Jersey.

"Praying that it goes in my favor," Murphy said.

She put in for a chance to win $1 billion, the second-largest Powerball jackpot in history.

"I was actually shocked it was that much money," Chris Hoke, another lottery player, said.

He wore his Phillies jersey over his work suit for good luck.

"Bryce Harper's jersey and my Eagles backpack, so I'm all set," Hoke said.

He says, just like the team, he's in it to win it.

"Yea what the heck? Things are happening in this city that don't seem to happen every day," Hoke said.

The jackpot has been growing for nearly three months, so it has continued to roll over 37 times.

Pennsylvania has a winning track record.

The last winning jackpot was for 206 million on Aug. 3, which was won near Pittsburgh.

The odds of winnings are about 1 in 292 million.

The cash value is $497 million before taxes.

Store owners who sell lottery tickets hope that players will get the winning ticket from them.

"Busy, because everybody's waiting for the winner from here and they say this is a lucky store," Hersha Patel, a convenience store owner, said.

And with Philadelphia teams on a roll, some say while the money is nice, some experiences are priceless.

"After taxes, I would probably take the World Series," Hoke said. "The World Series is something that can be, like, forever."

Tickets are $2 per play and if there's no winner Monday, it will keep growing.
