Lump sum after taxes only about 100 million. But that will pay for some stuff. Maybe it was one of your relatives.

I checked mine earlier tonight and had cold tickets... best I could muster was 2 numbers on same line out of $20. Nice donation I gave; I don't play lottery anymore since I was a kid, but felt like it earlier today.

And the winner's ticket was sold near my birth place (well, one county next door), go figure.

4 Lottery Tickets Win $330M Grand Prize

By KASEY JONES – 3 hours ago
BALTIMORE (AP) — The odds of winning the estimated $330 million Mega Millions jackpot were one in 176 million.
But lottery officials said early Saturday that four people — one each in Maryland, New Jersey, Texas and Virginia — did just that.
In addition to the grand prize winners from Friday night's drawing, 36 players matched all five numbers but not the Mega Ball number. They will receive second prizes of $250,000 each.
Another 215 players matched four numbers, plus the Mega Ball number — good for third prizes of $10,000 each.
The winning numbers were: 8, 18, 22, 40 and 44. The Mega Ball number was 11.
If estimates of the jackpot hold true, it would be the fourth-largest in the lottery's history. It was known as The Big Game when it awarded jackpots of $363 million in 2000 and $331 million in 2002.
A winning Mega Millions ticket was sold at Walther Liquors in Nottingham, Md., Maryland Lottery Director Buddy Roogow said.
The person who bought the ticket purchased five quick-pick tickets, costing a total of $5, Roogow said. That winner had not come forward, he said.
"You have a better chance of being hit by lightning at the same place and time every day for a week" than winning Mega Millions, Roogow said.
It was not immediately known if winners in other states had come forward. Mega Millions tickets are also sold in California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Washington.
Players lined up at retailers Friday for a chance to win despite the long odds.
Campark Liquors general manager Karie Gandy said that "lines have been unbelievable" at the Woodbine, N.J., store, which sold one of the two winning tickets for the record $390 million Mega Millions jackpot in March.
"We've had people calling us from out of state wanting to send us money so we can mail them tickets," she said. "Obviously we haven't because we're not allowed to do that."
In Buffalo, N.Y., a Wilson Farms convenience store had a steady line of eight to 10 people waiting to buy tickets.
"People are buying $100 worth at a time, for themselves, for offices. They're flying," said cashier Ashley Woloszyn.
The 19-year-old said she'd probably keep working even if she won the jackpot.
"You need to see a shrink," chimed in customer Jim Dole, who bought $20 in tickets.
The mega-jackpot was paying off for Savannah retailers near Georgia's border with South Carolina, which isn't among the 12 states where Mega Millions tickets are sold.
Peggy Davis, a manager at Brown's Chevron in downtown Savannah, said the store had sold more than $1,000 in Mega Millions tickets by noon Friday.
"That's about two or three times what we'd normally sell by that time of the day," said Davis, who expected heavier sales once people left work.
For selling the winning ticket, Walther Liquors will receive a $25,000 commission, a lottery official said.

Associated Press writers Russ Bynum in Savannah, Ga., Daniela Flores in West Windsor, N.J. and Carolyn Thompson in Buffalo, N.Y., contributed to this report

This is what a rich guy looks like


NOTTINGHAM, Md. - Elwood "Bunky" Bartlett says a New Age book store made it possible for him to become an overnight multimillionaire.
He and his wife, Denise, were on their way to the shop where he occasionally teaches Wicca and Reiki (RAY'kee) healing when they stopped at a liquor store and bought two $5 Mega Millions tickets for Friday night's estimated $330 million jackpot. On Sunday, he said one ticket was a winner.
"If it wasn't for this place I wouldn't have won the lottery," Bartlett said Sunday at Mystickal Voyage, the New Age shop.
Four winning tickets to the Mega Millions jackpot were sold in Maryland, New Jersey, Texas and Virginia. Lottery officials said Sunday they cannot confirm the validity of Bartlett's ticket before they meet with him on Tuesday.
"There's no reason to believe it's not legitimate, but it has to go through security," said Maryland State Lottery Director Buddy Roogow, who said he has spoken with Bartlett.
Bartlett, an accountant from Dundalk, said he made a bargain with the multiple gods associated with his Wiccan beliefs: "You let me win the lottery and I'll teach." Both tickets he purchased had numbers chosen randomly from the computer.

Is there such a thing as an attractive Wiccan?

I like the part where Elwood says he made a bargain with his Wiccan gods to win the lotto. I wonder what deal he made for his good looks?
