130,000 Powerball tickets a MINUTE...

Just heard on MSNBC.

Nationwide, in states that participate, tickets are currently selling at the rate of one hundred thirty thousand per minute.

Another $260,000 added to the pool in the time it took me to type and edit this.

LOL....wow!

That's very flattering and I am grateful, but this is FAR from a "great" thread!!

Thanks though. You're very sweet!

It took more time to wait in line to pay for it than to drive from work to the station, pump the gas and make it home/

The line was out the door with a person dedicated just to the lottery purchases!
