The only thing I can think of at the moment, is that I would consider increased security measures.

No. I still plan to invest most of the windfall. It's too much money to not help out family members and close family friends. I plan to set buts for charity giving, sharing with family and friends. Once the money is gone, its gone.

May the balls bounce in your favor!

I will definitely be using a safety deposit box in a bank.

If I can get past my environmental guilt maybe my new boat will be 15' longer.

LOL, Why not add a 3rd 454 to it? Bigger, better, faster.

It's funny hearing people on radio station nj1015. I would talk to someone about also how to invest and make money on the interest. I also heard that if you don't touch majority of winnings you have a really decent chance of the next three generations.

LOL I meant to say, I plan to set budgets for charity giving, sharing with family and friends. Some times I don't proof read what I type.

For me yes. I'd now be able to actually afford having one girlfriend for every ethnicity instead of just 3 or 4...

I heard that too! I didn't run that stats because with the jackpot being where it's at, it doesn't matter how much the monthly interest is, I'll make it last. Somehow my family and I will "make do" - even if we have to cut corners and trim the fat!

btw, I don't know how accurate this is but someone said the interest comes out to around $600k a month.

The jackpot winning ticket will be purchased for $2 regardless of how many other tickets a player buys and a single winner taking the cash will have approximately $550 million after taxes. They could spend $150,000 a day for the next 100 years on a $2 investment.
