Mississippians Cross State Lines for the Powerball



FRANKLINTON, La. – The jackpot for Wednesday’s Powerball now stands at $500 million and just because Mississippi does not have a lottery does not stop Mississippians from traveling across state lines for a chance at the fortune.
 
“We have people coming in from Mississippi from all parts. Some over around Hattiesburg and different places just to get in on it,” says gas station manager Linda Graves.
 
The gas station Graves manages is just about half a mile south of the Mississippi state line.
 
“I mean we have people who come in here all the time that will spend 100 dollars just on lotto tickets”
 
She says ticket sales have picked up this week and she expects tomorrow to be “crazy” leading up to Wednesday night’s drawing at 10:59 p.m.
