Education lottery players waiting for Powerball

Monday, May 01, 2006 posted 03:26 PM EDT

Suzi Jambor loves playing the lottery, she plays almost everyday.

"I don't smoke. I don't drink. It's something I do for habit, that's my habit."

It's a habit that hasn't paid off yet but that doesn't seem to bother her.

"I hope one of these days I win something, maybe give me another lotto ticket," Jambor said.

Stores selling scratch-off lottery tickets say sales have been steady since the beginning. Cash prizes have been as high as $100,000 in some areas in the state, making for some very happy recipients.

A local convenience store manager described the jubilation he's seen, "Oh yeah, they happy. Yeah, some people come dancing you know when they are winning like $250."

But it's the Powerball that people are waiting for. Powerball is scheduled to start in North Carolina at the end of May.
