Lottery Madness

Yesterday, America went nuts with lottery madness.  With a jackpot of $640 million dollars, why not??  You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

The jackpot sum was the largest in world history, and you have a 1 in 176 million chance of winning.  Basically, I have a better shot at being struck by lighting than winning the lottery.  But that didn't stop me from spending my $25 on lottery tickets!  :P

Well, somebody that God smiled on won.  If this person is the only jackpot winner, and they take the lump sum of cash, they will receive $462 million.  Uncle Sam has to take his share, you know.   I really hope this person does NOT fall into the category of 85% of lottery winners who are bankrupt within 3 - 5 years....  That would be really freaking sad.  In all honesty, I don't get how on earth you blow that much money that fast. 

Me.... If I won... I'd give some to my mom, some to my dad, donate to a few charities, and then disappear.  Lol.  Nobody would ever find me.  I'd travel the world and keep my winnings a complete secret from everyone.  Once I saw the world (or the parts of it I wanna see) I'd settle in a small town somewhere and live out the rest of my life (hopefully with a spouse and children) in tranquility.  :) 

On the up side of things, my mom just text me.  Out of the $640 million we COULD have won, we won $7.  :P  I think that means we got 2 or 3 numbers right.  Lol!!  I can buy 28 gum balls!!!!  Life is GOOD!

So my question to all my rabid readers is this:
If you won the lottery, what would you do?  I can't wait to read the answers!

Scooter Out.
