Working at the convenience store where a $213.2 million Powerball ticket was sold -- the largest jackpot prize in Pennsylvania lottery history -- had Bo Ridgeway waxing philosophical yesterday. It's really something if you think about it. Fantasy and myth far outweigh rational thinking, the Cumberland Farms clerk said. People come into the store thinking they're going to win. Just like that person. It came to fruition for one person. That person, who has not come forward yet, purchased the tic... [ More ]
