Powerball jackpot is $205 million
Russ “Beefcake” Bowen told us that the Powerball jackpot is up to $205 million, the largest jackpot since North Carolina joined the lottery. Holly Headache stood in some convenience store and said ticket sales are brisk – they’re selling at about $1,000 a minute. Holly talked to one woman who said she uses family birth dates for her numbers. That’s original.

oh, and no jackpot winner. wednesday’s jackpot is now a whopping $240 million. dang.
it appears the all-smiles ending was a one weekend thing… not a new trend
petulant, they said the business was western carolina community health services, or something like that.
Pet, the damage was minimal – some crumbling exterior. WLOSers didn’t identify it – just said it was in West Asheville, on Ridgelawn Ave.
thanks!
Since I am without the illustrious WLOS- what building crumpled? Was it local? Isn’t this the second building collapse due to A CAR? Is it an epidemic? Do when need to notify the Department of Homeland Security?
And I like the new look…
thanks, Peach!
KICK A NEW LOOK, ASH – it’s HAWT!
