I liked the story of the CA nurse who won. She reportedly stayed to finish her shift. I read the owner of the nursing home, or homes, bought a ticket for many people. Good for her. So much for living in OH. LOL

But I also read one was already a millionaire. They bought 30,000 tickets and might buy another yacht. Bleh

Then I read that after the jackpot was split in three. Each eligible for 600millions, but would receive $200million after all the taxes. Not that such an amount is to be scoffed at, but with such astronomical figures it's eye opening to consider where the money first goes before the winner sees it.

Then, personally it's the publicity that would concern me. There's plenty out there about how these wins can destroy lives in the long run.
