Well $1.25 million after tax is a nice prize.  Hopefully my ticket will come through for me tonight and give me the big jackpot.  I sure would like the Megabucks prize because of the level of comfort I would have with this money in the bank.  Security at least financially for awhile.  Not always having money on the mind.  Being able to kick back and rest easier know you have a rainy day fund.-weshar75
