I don't know all the details but my cousins' co-worker (NJ) hit 2.7M on the last drawing. I'd be happy with just that🙂

@Mz iMac thanks for the update I'll buy a ticket tomorrow for sure. Just don't know what I'll do with all that $$$ - lol

@on the bay. It would totally mess up most people's lives. Too bad they can't have many winners.

Who wants the responsibility of managing that much money? It would be a full-time job. Hire somebody? Then you'd worry 24/7 about that person taking advantage and stealing.

@Kachina624,

I had all those thoughts too. Sometimes a simple life can be the happiest. That $ would be overwhelming.

@Kachina624 IN N.J. as well in Pa there are "lawfirms" & "financial advisor firms" where as their only or a majority of their clients are "lottery" winners.

I've only heard of 1 case here in N.J. where an "attorney" stole lottery winnings. This attorney did NOT work for a firm. Worked for himself.

I would have no problem what-so-ever in handling that much money. I am a hands on type of person. I want to know where and/or who each penny is going to. The best financial advice I've ever heard is to SIGN YOUR OWN CHECKS.

I would have to share it with my husband, but I am VERY good at holding on to it. Last 5 set ticket I had I only matched 1 number twice.

@Icegoddess I've hit the Poweball # twice. Purchased more tickets w/my winnings.

My husband and I were discussing winning this much money

I told him, I can't think of one thing I would want to buy if I won.

He said he would buy our kids and grandkids new cars so he wouldn't have to do work on them. It seems every week, someone wants something fixed on their car.

I laughed. It is a good plan.

I played. Never won but thought I would give it a try. As for what to do with it. First thing... keep it a secret. Our state MD does not have to reveal the name of the winner, I am told. I am sure scammers would have a field day otherwise.

LuvSoCal — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 04:40:58 GMT

I would give 3/4 of it away. Start lining up, ladies.

I would donate a lot of it to animal shelters across the country.
