POLL: 'Play at the Pump' In Plymouth?

A Plymouth gas station is now part of a pilot program for Quick Pick Powerball paid at the gas pump. Have you used it? Would you?

 

Everyone wants to win big with the lottery.

The jackpot reached $580 million this week and a new pilot program launched to make it easier than ever to buy a ticket.

The Minnesota State Lottery is now selling "Quick Pick Powerball and Mega Millions" tickets at the pumps at only a few gas stations throughout the metro.

One guinea pig is the Plymouth BP off Rockford Road on Plymouth Blvd down the street from the Plymouth City Center. It is one of a handful of metro stations part of the limited pilot program. Tickets are also being sold at a number of ATMs across the metro.

All you need to use the 'Play at the Pump' is a debit card, driver's license and cell phone number. The touch screen access is meant to make the process simple and quick for everyone.

Would you use this new service? Why/why not? If you have already, how was the experience?
