Maybe you should go back to school and learn a little geography?  You sure are a long ways from Missouri.

I read that he said he wants to wait a few days before he decides if he's gonna keep his minimum wage job at the convenient store.

I also read that he's not sure if he'll take the lump sum which is around $124 million or take the 30 payments over 30 years.  It said if he takes the payments he'll pay $6 million in state taxes on it, I think I'd take the 30 payments which comes to like 8.4 million a year.

nah.....he'll blow it in less than a year, and then wonder where he spent it.

i'd definitely take the payments.

If he takes the lump sum of 124 million, i bet he will loose it all in 10 years.

How convenient, a convenience store clerk on his last dime wins the powerball and the convenience store wins $50,000 for selling the winning ticket.

I don't like being a hater, but something is rotten in Denmark.

Your joking right?

Not at all. Lottery Fraud happens more often than you may think.

You hand a dishonest clerk winning ticket, they scan a losing ticket they have already scanned and then they pocket the winning ticket, or hand you 2 or 4 dollars for hitting some numbers when in fact you have won thousands, in some cases hundreds of thousands.

In New York, another retailer has cashed 120 winning tickets for more than $500,000.

In Illinois, we found one store where four employees and five of their relatives cashed a total of 556 winning tickets, for more than $1,600,000.

In California, lottery investigators were seeing the same thing.  In fact, in 2007, the five most frequent winners in California were retailers.  One store owner in Los Angeles cashed 121 tickets for more than $160,000.

Always ask for your tickets back, win or lose.

I haven't bought a lottery ticket in a few years but all you have to do with the Kansas Powerball is read the numbers.  Once you buy the ticket, the clerk should never have to look at it again.
