What would you do with $365 million?
So it came to my attention as I was surfing CNN.com once again that the lottery winner this past Saturday was from Nebraska. This person won $365 million and has yet to claim it. My fiance and I were discussing this Saturday as we were driving to his sister's house and he informed me we were going to win the lottery. . . yeah right Daniel! We obviously didn't or I'd have something far more interesting to talk about. I couldn't believe $365 million. That is a lot of money, as if ya'll didn't already know that. But seriously, what would someone do with $365 million? Does anyone realize how many hungry people we could feed for $365 million, how many cancer patients would could help save, or how much medical research could be funded to save people. Instead one person will get $365 million (if they ever claim it) which is more money than they will need in their lifetime. I just found out my fiance spends $10 every couple of weeks on lottery tickets. If Americans would spend on charities what they spend on lottery tickets every month we might actually be able to save lives.I wouldn't even know what to do with $365 million. What would you do?

Did you see that there was a group who finally claimed the lottery prize? It is a group of 8 (I believe) meat packing factory workers from Nebraska who went in together. Each is receiving a little over $22 million. Can you imagine going from a factory worker's salary (I have no idea what that is, but it can't be good) to having $22 million. It would be interesting to know what they do with the money.
I was thinking about that the other day, and i really don't think i'd spend that much of it...at least not for awhile. There really isn't that much i 'want' thats all that lavish
