$340M ‘BALL’ GAME HOTTEST TICKET AROUND

NY Post

Aspiring millionaires crammed gas stations and convenience stores in 27 states yesterday after the jackpot for the Powerball lottery game shot up to an all-time high of $340 million.

“I’m glad the bridge didn’t burn down,” said Vincent Gagnon, 45, a frustrated deliveryman who was trying to get into Manhattan. “But it’s hard enough to get around in this town. My whole day is shot.”
