The massive $97 million jackpot was the result of 62 consecutive drawings without a top winner. The jackpot started as a $4 million prize on October 24, 2009.

WOO HOO, this is VERY exciting that the lump sum is only apx. 36% less than the annuity amount (that's less of a spread than Mega Millions and WAY less spread than Powerball! -- congratulations big single ticket winner(s), oh what pleasure these monies will bring

I think the winner should have to share with the rest of the country as a form of punishment for Texas' foisting of MegaThinkTank on society at large. Not that it's completely MTT's fault. But then again... He's no daisy. He's no daisy at all. The poor soul is just too high strung.
