I buy $20 worth when I take the family to Disneyworld. I'd probably do the same if Alabama has the lottery if the prize goes over 300 million.

Do you play any subscription?

I play the Massachusetts lottery by subscription, just one phone call and I'm covered for a year.

They could use the revenue.

With no lottery of their own, Nevadans who want to play the numbers visit California vendors like this one near the state line.


On a recent afternoon, lines of customers snaked to the door of the Primm Valley Lotto Store, a bustling hut just over the border in California. The parking lot was packed with cars sporting Nevada license plates.

The hut, on a dead-end street paved for the sole purpose of crossing that border, holds two important distinctions. It is the lottery ticket vendor closest to Las Vegas, 45 miles to the northeast. And it sells more lottery tickets than any other vendor in California, according to that state’s lottery officials.

I sure California appreciates the revenue!
