Ahead of the much talked about Powerball drawing, there are all the fun storylines: A record-breaking jackpot, what people say they would do with their prize money if they won and so forth. To keep the experience of playing games of chance a fun one, we asked players what playing responsibly means to them.
“Not to go overboard,” said Hans, who lives in Raleigh. “Take care of home first. Then after that you can do what you want.”
Joseph of Fayetteville said that, to him, having a chance to win the Powerball jackpot isn’t about having a lot of tickets.
“It’s still just one ticket that will win,” he said.
A pair of coworkers, Christina Ammons and John Lee Jr., from Sampson County, said they don’t usually play Powerball but decided to because they heard about the big jackpot for Saturday’s drawing. They bought just five sets of Power Play numbers for $15 – and won $150,000. They didn’t have to break the bank to get lucky.
We are going to continue a conversation about responsible play. While most folks enjoy our games without any problems, resources are on hand for those who may need it. Support is available 24 hours a day at 877-718-5543 or by visiting morethanagamenc.com.
