Question of the Day: Are You Playing Powerball Today?
The jackpot is up to $220 million, but there's no waiting to buy a ticket at TD Smoke Shop.
It would be hard to argue that playing the lottery was a sound investment strategy, even when things are as volatile as they've been on Wall Street this week. But who can resist the chance to win $220 million? Hey, you never know...
So you might expect a long line at TD Smoke Shop on Purchase Street to buy tickets for today's $220 million drawing, but you'd be wrong.
"Everyone is on vacation," said owner Tony D'Onofrio. He says fewer people have been coming in to the shop to buy tickets. "But the people who are playing are buying more."
