Скачать или смотреть Powerball: Some people are buying tickets out-of-state | FOX 10 Phoenix

The jackpot for Sept. 3's Powerball drawing stands at $1.4 billion, and while millions are hoping to win, some have had to go the distance, so to speak, for a shot at the grand prize.

Powerball tickets can be purchased in 45 of the 50 U.S. states. The five states that do not take part in state lotteries are Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah. In Primm, Nev., which is located near the California-Nevada State Line, long lines can be seen as people wait to buy a ticket that could change their lives, forever.

“Very improbable, but you can’t win if you’re not in. That’s my philosophy," said Emmett Taylor.
