When the jackpot gets so big, I really think they should have a method to split it among multiple winners to maximize happiness. But I understand why they don't. More people buy when the maximum prize is larger.

Well, looking at extended family, I have one nephew that is a disaster all self-imposed, and other nephews and nieces who have worked their asses off to get where they are... I don't want to award the lazy loser....

Why not make it an incentive to the family member struggling to get themselves help. With the stipulations the money will come later after the self care and self improvements have been made? You don't have to be such a hard ass your whole life, Francis. People make mistakes. Some more than others, some make the same mistakes over and over. But that's okay. Life is journey, a marathon. There will be stumbles a long the way for all of us. Being humble and having a little humility is damn hard in the face of our natural prejudices. But I know damn well if you were a family member of mine. You wouldn't be left out in the proverbial cold over a few of life's issues that could face any one of us. |

I was really looking forward to how many cousins/family members I've never met and how many good, lifelong friends I've had since the first grade that I had completely forgotten about for decades that would have popped out of the woodwork had I won.

For this particular Jackpot...If you played that kind of ticket....Lived in a state with no income tax(you just have to pay the federal rate of 37%)......and assumed there would be 1.66 winners....every $3 ticket you buy is worth $1.86. If you assume only one winning ticket will be sold, Every $3 ticket you buy is worth $3.11 |

Right now the jackpot is $20 million with a cash out of $11.6. Every $3 ticket you buy is worth about nickle(assuming such a small jackpot will only have one winner). |

In Florida you can keep your identity as the winner from going public.

If I had won, I would have had a huge ethical challenge. I would want to buy an entire section of Arrowhead for myself just to be comfortable, but that would reduce the crowd noise. Should I not do it?

You would fit in with the wine and cheese crowd. Suite would be a better option for you. Maybe you and Brit would become besties

But..as a John Doe season ticket holder I had many chances to upgrade to club level. Never thought it was better. Don’t think I would either as a multi millionaire. I like watching the games with long time fans. Those are my people even if I have millions to spend.
