I've heard many times very commonly say they will like to win: 100 million, 150 million, 200 million in MegaMillions/powerball and they can't wait when they win it...And this is going way back when MM PB starting jackpot was 10 mill...First of all those jackpots ranging from 100 million to 200+ millions only occured 4...
