If you win the lump sum and take $125mil home after taxes, that is enough to spend 5 mill on toys and houses and out the other $120mil in safe investments and live off the interest for the rest of your life. Unforunatly, not many people do that. If you put 5 million dollars into an investment (I won't even pretend to know the names of them all) and it yeilded 4% a year. That's $200,000 a year to live off of, if you already bought your house and cars and everything else you needed or play things that you wanted, thre is no reason you couldn't live off of $200,000 a year.

That's only 5 mil. Put 100 mil in the bank, even at a 2% return, thats $2mil to live off of a YEAR

rumor around town says it's 6 or 8 people from a nearby food packaging plant that went in together on like 35$ worth of tickets, and that they've been holed up in a hotel since sunday

that's nice that they can split it up.

but man, it really WOULD suck to be in the situation where you turned down going in on a winning ticket. :/

i always go in on tickets when asked at work, just on the off chance that it'll pay off. i won't buy tickets on my own though. :dunno:
