Chino Hills 7-11 Powerball winner
 
I saw on the news this am that the 7-11 that sold the winning ticket was mobbed by folks celebrating.

What I don't understand is why?

Hmmmm 1.5B reasons why

I don't get it either. I guess those folks must really have nothing to do. In my most bored state, I can't imagine what would make me go do that.

3 winners across the nation. something like 6 tickets had 5 numbers here in California.

I was watching that crowd at the 7-11 on the news this morning and all I could say was ...

GET A ****ING LIFE!

Can't even fathom the life of the uncivilized....? :D

Maybe they were all waiting for things to get out of control so they could loot the store?

THERE'S our sammy! ;)

maybe they are all regular customers and know the owner or such, as he gets a payout for selling the winning ticket!

Because people are idiots.

The best explanation I can think of, too.

M.D. Holloway 01-14-2016 07:22 PM

any reason to party...I think we should all celebrate the winner!

Cooper911SC 01-14-2016 07:47 PM

Ummmmm. Because the owner of the store (that sold one of the winning tickets) gets a $1M "thank you" for selling the ticket.

I'm not even a lottery guy... Heard the word listening to radio...

Apparently many were friends and neighbors of the owner.

I'd be celebrating too! 😱

Insiders at G-Tech are facing federal indictment. Not over this, but good lord, find another way to blow your money.
