How many people sold stocks to buy powerball tickets?
Is powerball why the stock market tanked?

That’s an interesting theory. I figured the stock market tanked today because of Obama’s speech.

They are showing a live shot of the 7-11 in Chino Hills, looks like a mob scene, if I am the winner I am staying away from that area

I knew I should have bought 292 million tickets to match every single numerical combination.

LOL. Oh my, what do they think will happen? The winner certainly will not return to that location. Surely not anyway.

California does not tax lottery winnings. Bet they wish they did right now.

Can prisoners buy tickets?

I don’t see why not. It’s not like they will be there forever (at least some of them). Can you imagine winning and not being able to touch the money for 10 years. Goodness you’d walk out with 5 billion or so.

Odds on it being an illegal?

I hope so. They can leave then. right? And we finally get some taxes out of them.

Seems like most people think he faked that in photoshop but if so he was clever enough not put the five number in the order they were drawn (not required to win) like an obvious faker would do. If it is legit, he’s totally nuts for posting it like that, but then what the hell.

Probably already know who it is as the lottery time stamps the tickets and they checked the 7-11 cameras. Yeah if I’m the winner I go into hiding while calling a top notch lawyer and accountant and security team.
