Farmington, Would You Rather Win the $550 Million Powerball Jackpot or See a Moose?

Did you buy your Powerball ticket yet for Saturday's drawing?

Seeing a moose is rare and so is winning half a billion dollars.

But there is a moose that's been spotted in Farmington and a $550 million Powerball jackpot that is being drawn on Saturday.

Patch asked some customers at the Mobil Gas station in Avon whether they would rather see a moose once in their lifetime or win the jackpot.

Patch spoke with Parker Lewis, of Barkhamsted, seen first in the video, while he was filling up his tank.

Cal and Cheryl Thomas, of Simsbury, were out test driving their new car with the salesman and stopped to fill up on gas when we talked to them.

Which would you choose? What would you do with $550 million? Tell us in the comments!
