Hemmer on FoxNews said that the jackpot may reach $600 million due to the frenzy buying today. They showed video of long lines of customers in several locations.

I bought 2 numbers at the local convenience store last evening. I was the only one in the store, except for the clerk. They may get busier today.

I bought two tickets yesterday at a different convenience store for each one. No lines at either store in Tx.

Is your store in a poor neighborhood? That's where the vast proportion of tickets are sold.

Another big winner in the lottery will be whatever state the winning ticket is sold in. They can get a massive windfall when they tax the winner.
