Hard-luck Maryland town gets a $731.1 million Powerball win

The latest jackpot-winning Powerball ticket, worth $731.1 million, was sold in a struggling coal-mining town whose biggest previous claim to fame was being the hometown of baseball Hall of Famer Lefty Grove.

But keeping quiet about such a huge windfall could prove difficult if the ticket was bought by a local. Lonaconing (pronounced LOH-nah-koh-ning) is a town of about 300 families that's well off the beaten track, with a poverty rate of more than 22 percent, well above the national average.

Ravenscroft said there is still some strip mining in the area, although that’s winding down because of environmental concerns, and the remaining factory, a pulp and paper company, shut down recently after going through a series of buyouts.

Definitely worth reading the entire article. These are the tiny forgotten American towns, many of them overwhelmingly poor and white, where no one finds photo ops and where it's not politically correct to develop any worthwhile programs.

And now, lofty 'environmental' concerns and pacts benefitting other countries only are taking away the last remnants of hope they have. Forgotten and forsaken America.....

Coal mining is a dying industry and has nothing to do with Biden

It has everything to do with America-hating liberals and their destruction of the fossil fuel industries.

For decades the law of supply and demand was in control of the economy.
I agree natural gas is the reason coal is dying.
So why did Hillary and Obama brag they were going to kill coal?
Catering to their ignorant base?

This is obvious in a situation in which unemployment is severely elevated, and one of his first acts is to put more people on the street by killing Keystone.

It’s a completely tone deaf move. An unbiased media would be screaming about this.

Price comparison 10 years of data.


Its been a myth Natural gas is cheaper than coal. The issue is regulations.

Holistic approach is best to utilize all resources available and fair market conditions.
