I live in Lawndale, CA. We are a small suburb south of Inglewood and west of Gardena on the wrong side of the railroad tracks from the wealthier neighborhoods of the "South Bay" area of Los Angeles. People line up at this liquor store because someone once before won big buying tickets at it and so they think its got a leg up on the competition. From approximately 3-6 P.M. today there was a news helicopter overhead taking video of the lines.
So many people are deluded that they'll throw hundreds of dollars at something they don't have a chance in Hell of winning. This country has lost it's damn mind if this is leading news. This is the Cult of the 1% at its worst.
Mega Millions madness
The drawing for what could be the single biggest lottery payout the world has ever seen resulted in these numbers March 30: 2-4-23-38-46, Mega Ball 23. A $640 million jackpot is up for grabs.
Veronica Balbas holds her Mega Millions lottery tickets for Friday's draw in Lawndale, California, March 29, 2012. Lottery fever spread across the United States on Thursday with people in more than 40 states buying tickets for the Mega Millions jackpot that has reached an all-time record of $500 million, officials said.
