CH needs a lotto ticket

Or a job.
 
I went to the gas station today to fill up the tank and it was amazing the number of assorted people that were going inside just to buy lottery tickets. There were those dressed to the nines that were all giggles and those you could tell who sacrificed their lunch money. I bet it has been insane for the retailers. It'd be fun to operate the machine for part of the day just to observe people.

I used to live in Las Vegas and, yes, the lines at Primm (CA border) were that long -- out the door and snaking around the building and down the street -- of folks. If you were smart, you'd drive along the freeway 20 miles more to Cima where there were no lines and save yourself about 2 hours worth of time. Or, if brilliant, you went the other direction over Hoover Dam into AZ and hit one of the three retailers in White Hills.... The Texaco station never had a line ever!
In California the power ball is over 1 billion. Drawing is in 8 minutes. Lines in LA at a "lucky" liquor store are blocks long.
 
Yeah, the Primm store is the No. 1 retailer of lottery tickets in the U.S. It used to be like a 7-Eleven, but they got smart about it. Now it's a wall of lottery machines, two walls that have a chest-high counter for writing play tickets, and a counter island in the middle of cashiers with lottery ticket machines and 1 refrigerated display case of bottled water and soft drinks.... It IS a desert out there, afterall.
