On Friday night, the
winning lottery numbers for the Mega Millions' jackpot were revealed. The
numbers were 6, 17, 19, 20, 21, and a Mega number of 20. Millions of people
looked at their ticket, hoping to win. Unfortunately, no one won that night.
Due to the fact that were no winning lottery numbers, the winning ticket will
grow to over $356 million on Tuesday's drawing. If the winner chooses to
receive this cash in one lump sum rather than in equal payments over 20 years,
he or she would receive approximately $255.1 million.
Either way, that is a huge amount of money. I would not know
what to do with that kind of money in my hands. My grandfather buys
lottery tickets on occasion, and he always talks about what he would do with
all the money if he ever won the lottery. While I certainly would be thrilled
if I ever won the lottery, I think I would be nervous having all that money in
my hands. What would I do with it all? I think I would buy a nice house in the
country, maybe a vacation house on the beach, and a nice car. Beyond that, I
would not know what else I would buy. There are all types of stories of people
whose lives were ruined soon after winning the lottery. I would be nervous
about that, but I would make sure I put away a lot of my money in a safe
location. The good thing about winning that kind of money is that you will
never have to worry about your financial future, as long as you are smart with
it.
