My buddy was in line 2.5 hours. I don't usually gamble, but I went in for $20

the odds of your boss dying between now and the drawing are dramatically greater than your odds of winning.

You're much more likely to get hit by a crap driver on the way to get the tickets than to win.

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with pull tabs, in MN they can be found at any bar and certain other businesses. They cost 1-5 bucks each, you pull the cardboard back and see if you win. They are just small tickets. Winnings very depending on the game or 'box'. I call em card board crack, lots of people addicted to em. Proceeds usually go to a local charity or organization.

Anyways, I put one dollar in a fresh machine with roughly 10,000 pull tabs, opened it up and won $250. Odds were against me, not as bad as powerball obviously, but all it takes is one. You know what they say, somebody has to win. Lol.

Beaver Dam, AZ should have them too. But you will get the Utah people there and the lines could be excruciatingly long. I would suggest Primm. At least Primm is closer to where we are than Rosies Den in AZ. A couple hours in line goes fast when playing with your phone like most in line do.

If the impossible odds don't entice you, the 2-hour waits will!

What a country.

You guys sound serious about this 2-4 hour wait at Primm. Why not drive the extra 40 miles to Baker? You can do the round trip in about an hour.

I feel like the universe is enticing me after I just posted on here what I'd do with winnings like that. I've never seen it up to 700 Million before!

No one has. It is the highest in US history.


Edit: The jackpot just hit 800 million
