The State of the Union versus the State of the Nation
SOTU 2016
versus
Long lines to get a Powerball Ticket

People were using their rent money or their savings, so you name it, it was probably done.

There were actually two other people who got the same numbers down, one in Florida and one in Tennessee. What were the odds of that happening?
So now, the question is...
What Are You Going To Do With All That Money?
So there you go -- that's the state of the nation for you.
