The promise of millions and now more than a billions dollars is prompting folks to buy Powerball tickets. But you can't do that in Mississippi.

"I don't see any difference I don't see any difference in bingo and the lottery," noted Representative Alyce Clarke-D.

"Mississippi is in the center of the Bible belt," explained Representative Gary Chism-R. "You know, even though we've got gaming. I think that we've got enough."

Money talks and video of cars coming from Mississippi into Delta, Louisiana, proved that folks will drive to get a ticket. That video was shown to different lawmakers who then reacted to that much money leaving the state.

"Sure a lot of suckers ain't it?," said Chism.

"My recommendation is somebody should stay anonymous. Then go hire a lawyer go hire a tax consultant. Put about half of the money up and let the lawyer deal with the media. Let the lawyer deal with all the people who are about to come out of the woodwork and remember how good a buddies you used to be in high school."
