Lottery results: Picking a winner

With all the clamor about getting a lottery in North Carolina, we figured that we would add the N.C. lottery results on page A2 and drop the Virginia lottery results. Why, I thought, would anyone drive to Virginia when they could buy a ticket at a convenience store a mile or so away?

Stupid me.

Thanks for all your cards and letters. We've heard you. Beginning tomorrow, we're going to publish lottery results from both states. For space reasons, we're moving them to page B2.

Just remember: Your chance of winning the PowerBall is one in 146 million. You're about 1,000 times more likely to die in an earthquake.

Could it be they buy lotto tickets in Va., because they can save 17 cents a gallon on gas and 2% on sales tax?
