Nevadans Rush The California Border

Hundreds wait in a line outside the Primm Valley Lotto Store just over the California border


If the folks in line thought they were due for a big payday, the Primm Valley Lotto Store could probably agree. California Lottery spokesman Alex Traverso said the shop, established in 1992, has never sold a winning jackpot. Doing so would bring a $1 million bonus for its owner, Affinity Gaming.

Even if they don't deliver a jackpot, Powerball sellers gain with every ticket sold. Traverso said the shops collect 4 percent from self-service ticket sales and 6 percent of sales from touch-screen Altura machines. Traverso said he had heard the Primm store sold around $200,000 in tickets on Wednesday alone.


Long odds, long lines don't faze Powerball jackpot seekers near Las Vegas

They had best take a wrench and tighten up that loose revenue because they wouldn't want to be losing it!
