Who else is doing Powerball?

[Hot Damn!]

You bought it in a parking lot? What special service did you perform for the ticket, and for whom?

Well didn't get the winning ticket so guess the guy I serviced won...this time.

I wonder if they know they have won and can't even imagine the feeling and thoughts going through the winners head.

 

It's not just life changing money, it's taking care of generations or doing goodwill money. I imagine a lot of pressure coming with that much money. 

 

Good problem to have, but man....what a trip it would be to read those numbers and the feeling associated with it.

Restaurant Staff Buys Winning $900 Million Powerball Ticket for the Wrong Day

 

Ouch.

Obvious prank that has been done many, many times. Who takes a video of someone reading off lotto numbers?

[Tank]

winning tickets also bought in florida and tennessee.

[Adam]

Pffft. Glad I didn't win. $500 mil would do nothing but inconvenience me. 

[Hollyw00d]

Some rich asshole won

Adam, I'm still going to ask to borrow some money to bet on that longshot that's a sure thing regardless.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

I got 3 numbers. 6 bucks. Taco Bell here I come.

Google is tied into Twitter. So if you Google powerball tweets are shown. Someone put, "Here comes the backlash as Chino Hills has a median household income of 97k"

I guess people think only people that are below the poverty line should win.

[Hollyw00d]

People below the poverty line are generally more gracious and giving

[Homebrewer]

I know what you mean. Someone said something to me along the lines of "Someone from Chino Hills? I'll bet they really needed the money"

I looked at this person sorta puzzled, as I never thought of Chino Hills as an especially moneyed area..

[Hollyw00d]

Its the Beverly hills of riverside county

[Hollyw00d]

Its where many of the members from nwa moved when they hit it big

Snoop too

[Homebrewer]

LOL...the Beverly Hills of Riverside County.

I think you are thinking of Diamond Bar. Big difference. But Chino Hills has a lot of (Chinese) money. Edited January 14, 2016 by wopphil

You're over-stating Chino Hills. It's like a newer version of any other city that has good areas and other areas. The benefit is the other areas aren't old enough to be that shitty. Yes there are $5 million houses in Chino Hills, there are also $200k condos, and apartments.

Wish I was the clerk that sold it. 1% of 1.5 billion is 15M!

Well, the business owner (probably Pakistani since it's a 7-11) will get a third of that, around 5 mil, (Closer to 3 after taxes) which isn't chump change either.

1) There's a good portion of Chino Hills that's affluent. There is also a huge portion of the city with blue collared people that bought 20+ years ago and have lived there ever since. There is also a big portion of the city that would be considered VERY lower middle class bordering on lower class.

 

2) It's in San Bernardino County, not Riverside

 

2) No one from NWA lives in Chino Hills and Snoop has never owned a home in Chino Hills

 

4) The owner of the 7-11 (who's a super cool dude) got $1 Million today for selling the ticket, not $15 Million

[halobob]

**** powerball

[mrwicked]

i heard the neighborhood where it was purchased was the shady part of town.

statistically its the poor folks who fund lottery tickets so i think the assumption that it's someone on the lower income of the spectrum that won is likely true, but not always.

maybe it was a blue collar worker (and good for them). 

or maybe it was a trust fund twenty something (good for them too).

any town has good and bad parts.

pretty wild all around. hopefully they are smart with it.

just through it into gov't bonds and live off the interest - thats millions a year.

Just found out that the owner has to give $500,000 to 7-11 headquarters since it's a franchise, and then his $500,000 gets taxed at 39%.

You're the Jeff Fletcher of this thread

When did Chino Hills become Riverside County?

[Homebrewer]

Chino Hills was probably more affluent before the tract home building out there.

A buddy of mine's step-dad had a horse ranch out there (Arabians) back in the day. (70's)
