LOTTERY: Helping the economy

We were at Landhope in Willowdale after dinner on Saturday buying a Powerball ticket when a friend walked in, on the same mission. She was happy to see us because she wasn't sure how to use the lottery machine (so she said). She told us she wanted to try her luck on the $373 million jackpot for a very specific reason: she has had her eye on a historic house that will require some expensive renovations.
She bought her ticket and we had a discussion about whether it would be better to take the lump-sum payout or the annuity. I made her promise that when she won, Tilda would have an exclusive on the story.
I'm still waiting for that call.
