Did you really buy Powerball tix?

[Deleted]

If so, how many?  Did you have to wait in line?

I'm really   at people in Nevada driving 7 hours and then waiting in line 9 hours to buy tickets.  Really?  I mean, you have basically no chance at all of winning.  I might buy a few today, but I won't wait in longer than about a 5 minute line.

H bought 2 yesterday. We've never bought them before.

[thinkofthesoldiers]

Yes, and just the regular line at the gas station. NBD. However, I used to live in a state that didn't participate, but close enough to a border to go across and get one. I never did because the lines were ridiculous.

[sunshineluv]

Heck yes, in a work pool. No line for us

[lolly]

H bought 2 - he gets me a donut and coffee on his way home from the gym on weekend mornings so no extra trip or long line.

There is no way in hell I'd wait in a long line to buy a lottery ticket.

[adhdfashion]

I've never bought a lottery ticket.

[gretchenindisguise]

Yes.

I bought one powerball, one megamillions, and one CA state lotto.

I've already won back 1/2 my investment by matching the Mega ball last night.

I bought two at the grocery store. I got them from a vending machine as I was leaving.

[gretchenindisguise]

Oh and no line. I walked in and bought it on my way home.

We bought 2, but there was no line waiting involved.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

I don't even know if they sell them in my state and I'm too lazy to find out.

I bought three but there was no line.

That's crazy! I was just walking DD in the stroller and saw a sign in a donut shop that said they sold lottery tickets and just walked right up to the counter and bought a couple Powerball Quick Picks. I didn't realize that people were waiting in line. Craziness.

[Deleted]

You can't win if you don't play.

[AlpineSlide]

I never buy tix but H does. He would never drive any distance or wait in a line though.

[Deleted]

H and I both went in with coworkers and H stopped and bought $10 worth this morning just for us. No lines involved.

[Deleted]

No. I'm notoriously unlucky and figure I'm more likely to get into some sort of freak accident where I'd get a bunch of money in a settlement.

[DaisyCakes]

I bought one ticket and a box of junior mints. This waiting in line for a powerball ticket perplexes me.

[SKP82]

We bought one on the way home from dinner last night. No wait.

[eb777888]

Okay, well, I told H to pick some up on the way back from Home Depot.

[Deleted]

Bought tix (7) in the office pool yesterday. No line. Bought 3 today - one for me, one for SO and one for DD. No line.

Someone has to win... Hope it is me!

[wannabe]

We bought $10 at a gas station on the way to our fabulous weekend getaway. No line.

[toph]

I bought 5 and it took me 5 minutes at a location 1 mile from my house.

[DotAndBuzz]

Yep. 2 of them. But I wouldn't be willing to wait in a long line, much less drive for hours to buy one. That's ridiculous. I waited for about 3 minutes. There was one person in front of me shooting the breeze with the convenience store attendant, or I would have been in and out faster.

[hisno1girl]

We bought some at work ($4 per person, 9 people in the pool) but someone else went in to buy them. I stopped for gas on Friday and bought one more, there were no lines.

[mariafromnj]

I bought $10 and DH bought $20. I missed out on my work pool because I was traveling and out of the office. That is 20 people at $10. I am going to be mad if they win!

[WOT?*]

I got two numbers! On different lines. Lost $10, which is why I generally don't play. I'm the world's worst gambler, in any venue.

[azurely]

Yes, we bought 5 tickets, plus H was in a work pool and I did a pool with friends.

We didn't wait in line to buy them, we were in and out in 30 seconds.

[Deleted]

We bought 5. We got 5 numbers on different lines. Blah!
