Taking Another Shot
Nov. 4th, 2022 07:58 pmWith the PowerBall now up to $1.5 billion, we decided to take another shot and headed back to the Gold Ranch after I got off work and after we had a nice lamb soup that Lisa made. It's been cold enough that having a big bowl of hot soup was very welcome.
The last two times we've gone to get tickets, the queues haven't been that long (which is good because last time it was snowing), but with the prize growing so large, we weren't the only ones who wanted tickets.
( Ticket Queue at the Border )
My total wait time was 30 minutes from arrival at the queue until I had my tickets and was out the door heading back to the car. Lisa had stayed at the car, and I can't blame her one bit.
We then went back to Reno and did additional shopping at Cost Plus World Market, where we had some store credit and a gift card to use, and then to Raley's to get the things we forgot to get on our previous trip. We got home a bit after sunset, with just enough light left to unload the minivan.
