    If I hit the whole thing, 25% of the winnings will go to building a care facility for our wounded veterans, and a scholarship program for their surviving children...

    $558,000,000.00 at a conservative 2% annual interest will generate almost $1million a month return.

    Well, my personal ambition of being Gru with a bunch of minions is put on hold until the next drawing. Dang it, I already started taking applications too.

    Hard to believe with everyone and their brother buying tickets, nobody won. Just goes to show the odds. Some frickin' banker will probably win.

    That's just an unbelievable amount of coin. I'd sure help a lot of folks with it. Maybe even buy Brock his own tube factory, and a smile....haven't seen him smile, has anyone ? :)

    After taxes you could only afford one made in China.

    Heard on the news that even with the millions of people playing that only 75%-80% of number combinations were sold. So it was a 1/4 chance of no one winning. Overall still a 1 in 272.2 million chance of a particular ticket winning. I have better odds of getting to space.
