I have some ideas about what I would do, but nothing is set in stone for me. I just thought it was a bit odd that they seperated as soon as they won the money.

I'm not sure myself what I would do after winning. Let me win first.

Sad but death is a fact of life. They sounded a little flakey, almost like they didn't know what to do after winning. I will have no problem there. Pay off my families' mortages a little good presents at Christmas and open my art school and bookstore.

I don't see it as a curse. People die everyday. Everyone who wins the Powerball is going to die one day. It doesn't mean the Powerball is cursed. It means those peoples times were up.

Winning the Powerball is not a curse, disrespecting the winnings is a curse. Its what u do with the winnings not the other way around. You have to be in control. People forget about that and end up in trouble.

At least they knew to take lump sum. You don't know what will happen over the next 30 years.
