This Is What The Powerball Ticket Line Looked Like In Nevada
Seven years ago, America was promised hope and change. The change never came, but at least there is still hope, and it comes in the form of a voluntary tax known as the Powerball lottery. The only problem: it happens to be everyone else's hope too, and to even get a chance to buy a ticket, one has to wait in lines such as this one on the California-Nevada border.
The line to buy Powerball tickets at the Nevada to California border line today is UNREAL!!!! ???? pic.twitter.com/prehiIeM3i

That's just FU'ed!
Sadly, this also looks like our unemployment lines...
Had an unemployed friend pick me up $20 worth.

Won $4.
-80% return
So, it's kinda like you invested in a Jim Cramer stock, then?
Better investment than Bear Stearns.
Oh yeah huh. Playing the lotto gives you better returns than listening to Cramer...classic!
I'm sure that I saw those same folks in an iPhone line.
Lotte y is the only fair game in town. rich spend $1 and a poor spend $1, both have same probability, unlike getting a job or a contract.
And both of you are 200 times as likely to be hit by lightning than win.
Actually Powerball tickets cost $2 each.
And it is more like you are 290 times more likely to be struck by lightning in a Calendar Year in the United States than to correctly match the five numbers and the Powerball.
I would gladly give away my chance at being hit by lightening
Gambling is a tax for people that can't do math.
How much gold and silver do those people have....I'm thinking none.
The way I look at state run lotteries is that they are a just another tool to increase income inequality. Millions get poorer while one gets filthy rich.
Bullshit. Bear Stearns is fine. Trust me, I got a guy. He may have the ethics of a criminal, but he makes up for it in enthusiasm.
lost jackpot by one number, won $50,000.
" ... the odds of winning ... 1 in 292.2 million ...."

"Yes we can!"
Sí, se puede !
Guess that means SOMEONE in that line is definitely going to win!
Spend as much as you can afford to increase your chances.......to one in a million.
<Said Cog as he clutches his Powerball tickets. Come on baby, mama needs a new pair of shoes.> :-)
So you're saying I have a chance?
I had a vision where God told me I wouldn't win the Powerball, and he was right. Therefore, there is a God.
As good reasoning as any.
I figure there are only two outcomes possible.
1. You win.
2. You lose.
Therefore, you have a 50% chance of winning the Powerball.
Right?
exactly, this is the ultimate bread and circus right before the collapse.
I bet 90% of those stupid fucks complain about taxes and government waste.
And complain about "gambling" on Wall Street.
George Carlin....."The Public Sucks"
You are most likely correct. However, they are gambling with their own money. Wall st. and the Govt use our money to gamble and waste.
Sad debt slaves. I talked to me neighbor today and he was like I'd do this and that if I won. I said only a fool plays the lotto. He was confused.
Very Sad!
People buy the top. They always have.
If a person was smart, you'd by the state lotto with the smallest payout. Nobody is playing.
Or take a shot with FCX stock ...
I'm not saying I would play. But the last thing to do is play the huge payout with the highest odds. LOL
I said fuck it and bought some today.
Don't feel bad. Mea culpa.
Are you sure they are not lining up to watch the state of the Union?
That is what I thought the line was for. They wanted my $2 for what???
"They wanted my $2 for what???" Its to pay the paperboy... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsxJfcFVnpo
All you need to know about the real state of the union can be discerned from that short video.
Which part of the Odds ar Against you don't people understand..
at least if you play poker with your friends somebody has to win, and that sucker buys the beer and Pizza
( house rules )
I bet one of those folks get hit by lightning
After 7 years Barry's hope and change has finally arrived.
You've got a better chance of finding change under your couch cushion. No line needed.
A great visual representation of the Harry Reid economy.
Hoping or dreaming you wil win is a kind of opitate; serves the same purpose as religion; keep the people dreaming hoping so they don't realize how hopeless their lives really are.
Kinda sad, verdad?
There have been lots of reports in the news about people standing in long lines, waiting 2, 3, even 4 hours to buy lottery tickets because they go to a border store.
If you're going to travel to another state and buy tickets, be smart. Use the Lottery Places app to find a store a bit farther in from the border so you're not waiting in line.
Or maybe you're near more than one other state, and you want to see and compare stores in both states at once. The Lottery Places app can do that too, because it's the only app on the market that can find lottery retailers in every state and jurisdiction in the United States.
It's available for free download for every major platform: iPhone (iOS), Android, Windows Phone, and Windows 8 and Windows 10 computers. Every lottery player should have this app.
But I don't have a "smart" phone. You know not everyone is stupid enough to fall for the "smart" phone bullshit, right? Yes, I am 37 too.
I have a smart phone but was dragged to buying it kicking and screaming.
My last flip phone was falling apart and try as hard as I did I could not find a decent replacement.
I still miss the need to only charge it once every 4 or 5 days and not have my ass dial people at random.
Just last week I ordered the back for it from eBay and might actually resurrect it.
If I do the only thing I will miss about the smart phone is 2 apps -Viber and Dingtone.
What exactly are you "falling for"?
LOL
