The big thing though is you have to buy tickets in person (even though some people on here state they are buying online). If you bought one ticket every second, it would take more than nine years to buy all the tickets.
Lots of other fun stuff in the article here: http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/11/news...win-guarantee/ |
So the caveat with buying them online is that apparently those websites still send someone to buy the tickets in person, hence it's no different than getting a friend to pick it up for you.
