That was good of him to finish whatever projects he was building. I bet he also spent that time getting legal and financial advice, too. ..........................

Gonna win.

As the ex-wife of a construction company owner, I agree. However, the advice he receives regarding his construction company and related earnings would vary quite a bit from a winfall jackpot win of $97m. Just because his current advisor is good at managing the fruits of his labors, does not make them qualified to assist with a windfall of $97 million (or whatever the cash option came out to be). If that advisor was smart, he would have known right away to assemble a team of advisors for the best possible advantage of his client.
Either way, the guy looks like he's got his sh** together. Best of luck to him, and his what looks to be much younger wife. ..........................

PSYKOMO Once in a while I cast a net at megamillions but to no avail. It can be quite frustrating, but it's so hard to pass up without giving it a good go once in a while, especially when the pots up there pretty high.
Maybe one day my luck will change for the better, and good luck to you!

Maybe it would be a good idea to buy each pick seperately?  I considered this, but the clerks are so impatient, and just aren't the nicest of people! I do a few here and a few there, but at the end of the day, I think I'll just have to be lucky!!

I considered this, but the clerks are so impatient, and just aren't the nicest of people! I do a few here and a few there, but at the end of the day, I think I'll just have to be lucky!! I actually did it on the last drawing and had a lot fewer repeating numbers, but still didn't win anything. I did it again today while I was out of town and in "the city" at Meijer... I asked and the woman doing the lottery for it but she just gave me five on one ticket instead but bought the ticket anyway though it had one number that was repeated on each play, plus a couple other numbers that repeated. Bought five more right after and had no duplicates with the five numbers though I think there were a couple that matched the first five, just before leaving 37 minutes later I bought one more easy pick. That one matches three numbers as one I bought eariler, two of those numbers being sequential.
Then bought five more individually at the store's gas station (after getting some $4/gal fuel) and the guy there didn't seem too keen on the idea, so I just explained why I did it while he gave me a funny look. That time only one number came up more than once. There's probably some that match the tickets I bought in the store, haven't really checked too closely yet but at this point I would expect that there's some dupes, not really that bad of a thing I guess, as long as its a good number.
But yeah, they do look at you funny when you ask for five individual easy picks... With odds like 1 in 175,711,536 how can I lose?!
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.
