Wow! What did they piss it away on?

Actually, I have a buddy who's mom died when he was in HS. She had a normal life insurance policy, and he invested the full amount. He put himself through college, living on JUST the interest from those investments alone (which was more than I was making at my full-time 9-year old job). I'm sure the original amount is still there as a nest egg for retirement, but it's amazing what good investments can do.

not sure what they did with it, they probably have some left, but i know they paid off all their credit cards and bought out the mortgage to their house and then paid cash for my 2003 protege

hire a bodyguard because people would put a hit out on you if you won.

I'm all Italian (from the old family). Should be just fine for us (although maybe a few dozen G's short) *lol*

Does powerball offer annual payout?

I'd go that route.

meh I only waste my $ when it's up to like 200 mill

I'll usually waste a dollar or 2 when it climbs about 50 mill. Never going to win, so I won't waste more money, but it's worth a buck for the chance //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
