      <description><![CDATA[Well if I was to die tomorrow then I wouldn't have won anything. If I die the day after winning then I still don't have any money since it takes 60 days just to get the money you won. The only thing you can get especially if you have children is life insurance. If I win but never actually get the money than I guess I could care less how it would have been paid out since I never enjoyed it.]]></description>
