$1.25 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot set to deliver unimaginable wealthReply
A lot of work to get settled in from a big win may take some months after collection... Probably just going to take a few weeks to mellow out. Find a cabin up in the mountains or a trip up to New England. Then hit the trail to find land and then a specialty home contractor. I figure that will encompass a few years maybe 3-4 to get that set up. New vehicles, some toys, few hand cannons...just the basics...good stuff comes later.

Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
I don't get the church part but I was in a non chain convenience store last year and it had a large slot machine type machine. A guy playing was in a manic state playing over and over. It was sad. Maybe people are bargaining with God in Church for a big win and then go nearby to a retailer?

California Lottery announces group as winners of historic $1.765 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Had forgot all about this. Congratulations on their huge win. Too bad they didn't release the numbers of players. Probably 15 or more years ago had printed off their multi-page instructions of what to do with big winning lottery tickets. If memory serves me correctly they will cut up to 50 separate checks. I love that idea and glad this state will too, though they never said how many checks would be cut here!
