I remember learning in World History that the Chinese called their sailing vessels Junks .

After buying a few items from Walmart that were made in China, I understand why they would call something they made, a Junk .

I don't buy Chinese junk anymore.

not the type of store condusive to lottery purchasing. although, i didn't know they had little local wal-mart grocery stores in some of the downtown areas. stay away from the potato chips in those wal-mart grocery stores as they buy up the stale from the distributor and discount them. better off paying full price and getting a fresh bag from a real grocery store.

Never,I hope.I can't stand WalMart.Everything a man wants to buy is in the farthest corners of the store.You have to park 5 miles away unless you have a handicap placard in your windshield.I could go on on about WalMart but what's the point?The only good thing that ever came out of a WalMart is those emails that show those WalMartians .Those are a hoot

I don't think that is going to happen.

The only reason I can think of that Wal-Mart would sell lotto tickets at its GROCERY stores would be to attract customers.

Sales at the Wal-Mart grocery stores must be mediocre for them to do this.

K-mart sells lotto tickets, but very few people go there for lotto tickets.

There's always someone at the customer service , buying tickets there is too much of a hassle.

I think someone did win Florida Lotto once at a K-mart. not sure.

I wouldn't buy my tickets anywhere but my local convience store.

I just hope no Walmartians win!

Now, if we could only get that first big Mega Ball win in Pennsylvania

I don't think it will last long. As soon as some of their ticket sales the five finger discount kind-go into 5 or 6 figures that they have to pay back, they'll quit.

I hate Walmart anyway. This is just one more reason to hate them. The lines are huge already and all over the store...lines at the u-scan, lines at

register 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 19....this is only on Friday and Saturday. During the week, it's worse...there are lines at 3, 8 and 17 because the rest

of the registers are CLOSED...lines in Electronics, lines at Subway, lines in returns, lines at the Pharmacy.

One big, square store with a bunch of lines.

Who needs more at a lottery t... [ More ]

This is a radical departure for Walmart.

This is a bold and exciting move.

This is unlike anything they've ever undertaken.

This is something they have never done before.

Just imagine...

Walmart selling something that's not made in China.

Maybe they'll start selling at the Walmarts where ridgy lives and when he goes there on the weekends to check out the local babes and what they're wearing now days he can buy his two dollars worth of tickets for the week..

If you ever been graced with the photos of some of the wal-mart shoppers , it would behoove any state to not PHOTOGraph the winners, There are some sorry looking outfits roaming thru that store....I bet a nickel that someone wins big from there ...and walmart should price match it

This is interesting considering the Walmart gas stations currently sell Lottery. I believe they are called Murphy's gas stations. Usually in the Walmart parking lots. We have several of them in my area

This is for the Wal-Mart grocery stores, not the regular Wal-Marts or Supercenters

If the regular Wal-Marts or Super centers were to sell tickets , it would be a huge mess considering the sheer volume of people.

Good for Florida, I think they should of started the ticket sales at the supercenters first,

after all they sell everything else there.

Florida Walmart stores to sell lottery tickets

Lottery Post — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 00:55:26 GMT

Florida may have just hit a jackpot.

Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, has agreed to end its long-standing refusal to sell lottery tickets in its U.S. stores after reaching a deal with the Florida Lottery.

Starting in early October the retailer will embark on a pilot program at 27 Walmart neighborhood markets that stretch across central, southwest and South Florida.

The first Walmart stores expected to begin selling lottery tickets are located in Orlando. Ticket sales will start o... [ More ]
