VIDEO: Rams' Chris Long makes news as 'Hopeful Powerball Player'

Like the rest of America, Rams defensive end Chris Long was hoping to hit it big with Wednesday night's $1.5-billion Powerball jackpot.

Long showed up incognito to purchase his ticket at a store in Virginia, where he was interviewed by a local television station.

"I already told my old lady, if we win, we're going down to Myrtle Beach for about 10 months, and we're getting a timeshare - the whole nine yards," Long said. "And maybe a big boat, a couple boats, a lot of boats. We're gonna have a great time."

Making the local news was a dream come true for Long.
