Lottery winner hangs self 7 years after collecting winReply
It's obvious that he would have needed a perpetual annuity but from the sound of it I doubt it would have saved him. Some people just are immature at best and clearly can't handle money wisely. He had a long criminal record and sounded like he couldn't even handle life responsibly let alone money.

A former Texas lottery official, who claimed that then-Gov. George W. Bush's desire to cover up his National Guard record helped steer decisions about a key lottery contract, said he wants to talk to senators about Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers' possible role in that effort.

Second the lower sales in CA represent a big potential source of sales once the jackpot breaks the 300 million level and is all over the news. All big jackpots so far have been the result of dramatic sales for the largest drawing. Unless this is a new era of lotteries where record pots are the result of slow

Powerball Jackpot Grows to $180 MillionReply
You absolutely right Todd. I remember the days when $50M was considered a large jackpot, but times have changed. We need to satisfy our hunger. I personally wouldn't want to set a new record, but would take it anyway .It will be impossible to hide it from people you now. And the people you know are the worst enemies. God, save me from my friends, and I'll save myself from the enemies Alexander the Great
