I would feel obliged to use the Lost numbers, but I know that would not end well. Thus, I think I will sit it out. However, if I did win, I would do all the nice stuff, take care of family, give to charity, blah blah. I'd also get a bunch of comics and toys and stuff like that. Kinda a given. Onto my unique ideas. I would get a house in both Cape May and Wildwood NJ, open a store on the boardwalk. I would also play 1 mil in boardwalk games. I know I have it me, I have gone on $1000 boardwalk binges before. Then I'd probably come back to school and get a degree b/c I know I will somehow gamble and spend all the jackpot away. I need a backup plan.
That's why you get the installments instead. You get 24 million a year, so if you blow it all, you have another 24 million next year to blow.

In case you were away from the tv screen the numbers were:
02-04-23-38-46, and the Mega Ball 23.
I hope one of you guys won.

That would still leave you with 90-100 million if you took the lump sum after taxes per winner(s).
Sigh.
