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.
