Chino Hills 7-11 Powerball winner

[Oh Haha]

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?

[tabs]

Hmmmm 1.5B reasons why

[Rick Lee]

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....?

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

THERE'S our sammy!

[rattlsnak]

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]

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

[Cooper911SC]

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.
