The same people lamenting spending a few bucks on the lottery are probably themselves spending hundreds of dollars a year on video games...
Well think of all the children. They are counting on this lotto money so they can learn to read good.
i'd be a bit scared to win 500 mil, tbh. i would take 5 mil over 500. i'm financially savvy and can live a lifetime off of 5 mil. 500 mil is just excess and the unwanted attention would be too much.
id get my mom to claim the winnings. cause i know she fork over the money to me. if i won, i wouldn't say a damn thing. would i change? i dunno, never had 300 million before.

You actually would have to say a damn thing. I believe you are requirered to do the press interviews and all that stuff. Says so on the back of the ticket.
but can they force you to answer any questions? simply just nod and be boring as hell. that would deter the news a bit, no?
I'd think that would almost have a Streisand effect and would make the media dig deeper into your life.
1) two chicks at the same time 2) buy a piece of the rockets, or at least season tickets on the court. 3) buy a house in the Caribbean, Lebanon, and a West Texas ranch. 4) eat at the fanciest restaurant in pajamas
