they are going postal with powerball To: +Jeffrey S. Mitchell (3093 ) From: +Henry Volquardsen Tuesday, Jul 28 1998 12:05PM ET Reply # of 3102 I found out more details of the 'death threats' the gas station owner got. The station owner was limiting customers to 150 picks with 5 to a ticket. Apparently someone wanted to buy 2,000 single tickets. When the owner refused saying it would take to long the guy started waving a gun. It appears he was planning to sell the $1 tickets for $10 in Manhattan. ------------ more on powerball Message 5332391 -------------------- I thought this was funny To: +Henry Volquardsen (3100 ) From: +Jeffrey S. Mitchell Tuesday, Jul 28 1998 1:14PM ET Reply # of 3102 Henry, sorry, but I have to include the last paragraph of the NY Times article... in the spirit of full disclosure: Not all Greenwhich residents were amused. After being accused of cutting the Powerball line at a local pharmacy, Henry Volquardsen decided he'd had enough and started taunting the crowd by singing Paul Simon's hit song "Slip Sliding Away" at the top of his lungs. But it wasn't until Volquardsen threw pennies into the crowd that things turned ugly. "I buy and sell people like you every day" he yelled at them, "80 million to 1 you all end up weeding my garden." After police had escorted Volquardsen safely outside this reporter asked him if it was all worth it. "Well, I never did get my Viagra, but to tell you the truth, I'm no longer in the mood." - Jeff ------------------ looks like we know what Don will be saying today quote.yahoo.com btw we closed above Jerry Favors critical 8850...at least for today
