Tonight at 11 pm EST will be a drawing in the MEGA MILLIONS Lottery for a prize of over 640 MILLION U.S. DOLLARS.

The drawing is every Tuesday and Friday, in 42 of the 50 states, if no one wins, it rolls over to the next drawing. This one has rolled over a few times.

I have my tickets, but what in the world would you do with that much money.

At my age I would spend the hell out of it

That is an insane amount of money if one ticket hits it. That amount of instant wealth is bound to cause problems for whoever wins.
If no one does win it could well go to $1B.

Do you think you could still maintain the same happiness in collecting and fun of discovery if basically there would be no limit to what you could have?

Anyway, I have my one ticket, and guess I will find out

Best to all,
pat

I don't have a ticket, though I'm sure my wife probably does have.

I have no problem in figuring out how to spend it.

So here's a little update...

Since I live near Baltimore, the local media has been CRAZY over this story. Full disclosure: I bought one ticket and I did not win this lottery.

Three winners split the 656 million dollar jackpot, from Kansas, Maryland, and Illinois. Three Maryland public school system employees won a share of the record lottery officials announced today, ending a mystery that involved a McDonald's employee who claimed she had the golden ticket. The employees, who will remain anonymous, will each receive $35 million after taxes.

Here's the FUNNY part. A McDonald's worker stepped forward claiming to have it. Mirlande Wilson, a Haitian single mom of seven, went as far as alienating her co-workers by claiming she bought it separately from tickets she purchased for a pool of 15 co-workers and even held a press conference at her lawyer's office.

As her co-workers fumed about being cut out of a jackpot they were never really in on and filed a lawsuit in state court, Wilson told the New York Post she'd hidden the ticket somewhere in the restaurant.

By the way, I can't wait to see how this all goes down in my local paper over the next few weeks. Should be good times!
