| NH Sen. Judd Gregg Wins Powerball 2nd Prize |
| 2005-10-20 |
| At least it wasn't Teddy or JFnk... (CBS4) WASHINGTON: New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg is a bit richer today. He is one of 49 people who won a second place prize in Wednesday night's Powerball drawing. Gregg matched 5 of the winning numbers, but missed the Powerball. His ticket is worth $853,492. Senator Gregg bought the ticket in Washington, DC at a gas station with a Dunkin Donuts. There was just one winner of the $340 million Powerball jackpot. That winning ticket was sold in Oregon. Wonder if he'll catch a backlash? |

| #6 I don't want a math impaired Senator. Eh. I don't have a problem with anyone who buys a lottery ticket when the pot gets big. Yeah, the odds are you won't get a cent, but if the potential payoff is 300,000,000:1... It's like assessing risk. People worry about air travel because the potential downside is very high; very few planes crash, but very few people survive plane crashes. On the other hand, more people are in car crashes, but the survival rate is much higher. |
