Hey - Enjoy and kick back. I would imagine many won't be packing meat much longer.

I just heard that they got arounf 22 mil each after taxes.

I wish them well and I hope they watch there backs. People come out of the wood work when they have ALOT of money. It also is not a automatic happy button.

Melody is right.

Whenever you win a lottery like that, everybody you've known since second grade is knockin' on yer damn door! :re:

Our Florida lottery (49 numbers) is drawn twice a week. It usually builds at a rate of about $3 million a week.

One year it got up to $55 million when some old lady won it. She died a week later.

One time a guy won it when it was pretty high and took a lump sum payment. He went around buying relatives and friends Cadillacs and houses and stuff. In a couple years he was BROKE!

Man, just let me win three million.

OK, what is up with this...when something big like this is won, and the winners take a lump sum, what happens to the rest of the money ? The new pot always go way down ???
