Pay off debts.

Buy a house, some cars, and good things to fill both with. Get some new clothes and some nice pens.

Let the rest earn interest and give away large portions of it from time to time. Perhaps use it for opening a place to give food away.

Just bought in $5.

At the rate these things are being sold, any winners will likely have to share.

Re: Dream Over

Well they had a winner back east. I only can hope that this person deserved the money and was not already rich.

They're always already rich. Always some jerkoff making $250k/year who decided to buy a ticket on his way home from work the night of the drawing.

Anyone here win anything?

Love your enemies!

Re: Dream Over

Why would anyone "deserves" the money beyond holding a winning ticket?

I think what Phat might have meant is someone who 'needs' the money...

Yeah, but if there were other winners (in this case 3 separate winners), then you'd have to share the winnings. In this instance, that would still leave you with $2 million, but ordinarily you would be in the hole.

Secondly, even if you had a team of 20 people working around the clock, filling in bubbles and filling in every combination possible 147 million times, the contest would be over 8 months ago by the time you finish.

Sounds good in theory, but has no practical basis.

I was actually under the impression that this is either illegal or against lottery rules and results in the 'winner' not getting anything.

Maybe I'm wrong, though.
