    I just wanted like 15 grand, so I could pay off my car, school loans, and not have to work 70 hours a week (counting 40 hours a week of school) while going to school, like I am right now. :cool:

    i think 2 numbers gets you 2 bucks. usually when a group wins a low amount, you just use the money to buy tickets on the next drawing.

    I thought if you got 3 numbers you only get 1 dollar back or 3 I forgot? But I don't think you win anything with just 2 numbers.

    Truck Driver Wins Mega Millions

    Dalton truck driver Eddie Nabors won more than $116 million in Tuesday's Mega Millions lottery drawing. And as his life begins to change, so do the lives of those around him.

    Proud mother Doris shows off various photos of her son Eddie -- now a multimillionaire.

    "It's just a dream. Unbeliveable," said Doris.

    As Eddie accepted his winnings from Georgia Lottery officials, his mother watched on television.

    That is, when she wasn't answering the phone. She said it rings all the time now.

    Alongside Eddie at the press conference on Wednesday afternoon, was his sister.

    "It's a really good man," sister Becky said. "Nobody deserves it more."

    Tuesday, at lunchtime, Eddie stopped into the Favorite Market for a cup of coffee and $10 of quick pick Mega Millions tickets.

    He won.

    "It's just beginning to soak in a little bit," Eddie said.

    As for what to do with all that money, he says he wants to pay off his new boat and truck. But first he has more immediate plans.

    "I'm gonna sit down for awhile," Eddie said.

    This really will be life altering. Right now Eddie lives with his mom. She says he's struggled with health problems so this will take a lot of worry away. And she says he'll really have the time for all that fishing he loves to do.

    The $390 million jackpot was not just the biggest in the history of the Mega Millions game, it was the biggest in U.S. history.

    The first drawing for Tuesday's jackpot was January 12, for $12 million. It rolled over a total of 15 times to get to $390 million.

    Friday night's Mega Millions jackpot is back to $12 million.

    man, if i ever won a huge amount, i wouldn't come forward for a month or so, let it die down. however, i wouldnt get near the 180 day mark.

    i don't want people calling me and saying Kam, my buddy and crap like that.

    I thought when you win the lottery it is automatically made public, no?

    Or Latino.

    I think you can hire a lawyer to make the claim more private.
