Florida Has A New Millionaire
Remember that single winner of the largest lottery jackpot ever a few months back? One person won $2.04 billion dollars. One person…
While it’s not quite 2 billion bux, last night’s winning numbers did make several people across the country a bit more likely to venture out past the dollar menu. There was not a big winner, but several new millionaires were created last night via the Mega Millions lottery. One of them lives right here in Florida! The jackpot will now grow to $640 million dollars and the next drawing is will be held this Friday. If the winner opts for cash, they would would receive one lump sum of $328.3 million dollars. The winning numbers for last night’s drawing were 9-13-36-59-61 and the Mega Ball was 11.
When jackpots rise, so do ticket sales, so expect the total drawing amount to increase very quickly with each passing week without a winner. Admittedly, your chance of winning the jackpot is quite small. In fact, it’s currently one in 302 million-ish. Last night’s drawing was among the largest Mega Millions dreawings of all time. POwerball, meanwhile, is currently sitting at $215 million dollars. While both jackpots are huge, for sure, they pale by comparison to the largest lottery winnings of all time.
As mentioned earlier, a single ticket was sold to a California man a few months ago, landing him a gargantuan $2.08 BILLION dollars. The man took his time to come forward, waiting almost 60 days just to claim the prize. The remaining Top 5 lottery winnings all hover around the $1.3-$1.5 billion dollar mark.
Experts say it’s best to hire a financial advisor, an attorney and a tax specialist as soon as possible after finding out you’ve won the lottery, even before claiming the money. Many winners go broke after only a short time, that’s why it’s best to keep a level head and plan your future before acting impulsively. Source: WTSP.com
